Archivault, in Architecture, implies the interior contour of an arch, or a band adorned with mouldings, running over the faces of the arch-stones, and bearing upon the impost. It has only a single face in the Tuscan order, two faces crowned in the Doric and Ionic, and the same mouldings as the architrave in the Corinthian and Composite.
