I don't think so, though am none too sure of course. I've found several references to "Arco de embocadura" in theatres, "proscenium", so I guess its something similar. BTW the text goes on to describe further elaborate decoration.

Might it be 'arco de herradura'? (horseshoe arch)

Note from asker:
Not really sure if this is the term, but it's the one that went in. All the proscemium sounded veru interior to me?
