A meander or meandrosThe Greek term maíandros and its Latinized variant meandros are not very common outside of archaeological contexts. () is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Among some Italians, these patterns are known as "Greek Lines". Such a design may also be called the Greek fret or Key pattern design, although these terms are modern designations; this decorative motif appears much earlier and among Near and cultures that are far from Greece. Usually the term is used for motifs with straight lines and right angles and the many versions with rounded shapes are called running scrolls or, following the etymological origin of the term, may be identified as water wave motifs.
