corbel step
A corbel step is a construction technique where each successive layer of a material, often brick or stone, extends further out from the vertical of the wall than the layer below, creating a step-like progression. This method is often used to support architectural features such as arches, balconies or eaves. The term "corbel" comes from the Old French 'corbel', meaning "raven", because the shape of a corbel step projects from a wall like a raven's beak.
