The Caisson (), also referred to as a caisson ceiling, or ''spider web ceiling'',〔 in East Asian architecture is an architectural feature typically found in the ceiling of temples and palaces, usually at the centre and directly above the main throne, seat, or religious figure.〔 The caisson is generally a sunken panel set into the otherwise largely flat ceiling. It is often layered and richly decorated. Common shapes include square, octagon, hexagon, circle, and a combination of these. ==Name==
The ''caisson'' is a general name for a coffer.〔Oxford English Dictionary, (1989) Oxford University Press, ''caisson''〕 In the case of East Asian architecture, however, the caisson is characterised by highly developed conventions as to its structure and placement.〔
