Its a damned rare day I encounter a word I don't know. So I was thrilled to discover and look up "acroterion." Imagine my surprise when I encountered this definition:

en.mimi.hu/architecture/acroterion.htmlAcroterion - Definition WordIQ.com - Dictionary, Encyclopedia ... An acroterion or acroterium is an ornament placed on a plinth or acroter at the apex of the pediment.

That certrainly cleared it up for me. Thanks. I think.
