Explanation:
Begunets - a form of ornamental brickwork in the form of belts, which forms on the surface of the wall a number of triangular indentations, consistently tops facing up and down. (http://www.superforum.org/index.php?showtopic=179025)

Еще: The clearest quotations from medieval architecture appear on the side pediment, with its small window openings and modest brick ornament in the begunets (angled-brick) pattern of fourteenth-century Novgorod churches (cf. also the late fifteenth-century palace at Uglich). The porch over the corner entrance follows a similar medieval pattern. (http://publishing.cdlib.org/ucpressebooks/view?docId=ft1g500...
