Anybody knows what these might be called?

hi all, Anybody knows what these might be called? I am trying to searc for a model of somthing similar to what the image shows. I have absolutely no idea and I dan't think "stone thingy" is going to get me anywhere

The moulding is usually called a 'hood moulding' [or 'label moulding'] - and it usually goes over the top of one window or doorway, but in your case it's somewhat more 'mannered' as a feature on a wall over several openings...
The termination at its bottom end is called the 'label stop' [which itself can have many forms] - it could also be called a 'boss', usually when it's a simple 'flower' shape, but that usually implies a termination of several mouldings terminating meeting together...

I always thought those were called corbels?

Thanks Tig, perfect

A projecting small 'bracket' can be called a corbel - if it has the right form.
Indeed a label stop might be in the form of a corbel 'ledge', but not always.
A simple round/head-shaped termination that is ending a moulding's bottom-most part is usually better called a boss or label stop... -

I have a few corbels in this model. Corbel:a projection jutting out from a wall to support a structure above it.
