Coffering refers to the construction of ceilings or domes, where a web of crossed supports is overlaid to create a series of square, rectangular or octagonal recessed areas known as coffers. The most famous coffered dome is the Pantheon, in Rome. Coffers may be relatively plain, or they may be highly ornamented. The more obscure word for a coffer is a Lacunar.
