Italian term

Denti di sega / denti di lupo

Italian to English Other Architecture Description of a Cathedral
Hello everybody,

from a description of a Cathedral "la decorazione è completata da denti di sega e anche di lupo".

Denti di sega = sawtooth
Denti di lupo = wolftooth (?)

My doubt is about wolf tooth because I googled it but without convincing results.

Thank you.

sawtooth/dogtooth

You've asked two terms in one question, which is against the rules, but you've also provided the correct translation for the first. We would say dogtooth for denti di lupo.
