Crown molding may be a complex build-up of multiple trim elements, in this case built-out slightly above a window with short 90-degree returns

Crown moulding is a form of cornice created out of decorative moulding installed atop an interior wall. It is also used atop doors, windows, pilasters and cabinets.

Historically made of plaster or wood, modern crown moulding installation may be of a single element, or a build-up of multiple components into a more elaborate whole.
