sombrerete gallonado

Bridge building
I have seen and found translations of "sombrerete" and a few less of "gallonado", but I cannot really understand what is meant in this case.
This is from a book on bridges (basically the history of their design and construction). In this case the bridge has 20 stone arches. The piers for these arches has a repeating pattern:
" y las pilas se disponen con un doble ritmo. Una de cada tres es más ancha y su tajamar sube hasta el tablero, mientras en las otras dos solo suben hasta los riñones del arco y se cubren con sombrerete gallonado"
The bridge in question is the "Puente de Alcolea (1792)"

I am also translating this term (in relation to a piece on the cathedral in Zamora). I found the term by chance, but on looking up the term in a glossary it would seem to fit..at least in my case. Will keep an eye out though for other answers, just in case.
Best of luck,

I assume the sombreretes gallonados aer the conical tops on the cutwaters, but what would you call them?
