A shallow sloping section of floor something between a ramp and a staircase, as each step itself slants but is about 2/5 feet deep, while the lips up from step to step are very shallow and slightly raised. This type of staircase is optimized for taking on horseback, and common in the Medici family gardens, which is where this specimen is located.
