Vitruvian scroll

The Vitruvian scroll is a scroll pattern used in architectural moldings and borders in other media.

It is also known as the Vitruvian wave, wave scroll, or running dog pattern.

[1] The pattern resembles waves in water or a series of parchment scrolls viewed on end.

"Vitruvian" refers to the Roman architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio ("Vitruvius"), who wrote the oldest extant book on architecture,[2] which describes some of the classical architectural orders.
