Hood mould
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
In architecture, a hood mould, also called a label mould (from Latin labia, lip) or dripstone, is an external moulded projection from a wall over an opening to throw off rainwater. This moulding can be terminated at the side by ornamentation called a label stop.
The hood mould was introduced into architecture in the Romanesque period, though they become much more common in the Gothic period.
