Fig. 310.—Greek Frets.
The simplest forms were frets or the so-called key pattern (Figs. 310, 311, and 315).
The word meander is sometimes applied to the Greek frets; this is not correct, as the word implies a curved line, not a rectangular one.
Fig. 311.—Greek Carved Fret.
The guilloche, snare-work, or cable ornament, is used on flat bands, and also as the decoration of torus mouldings (Figs. 312 and 313).
Fig. 312.—Treble Guilloche Ornament.
The Greeks used the honeysuckle pattern in an endless variety of forms both in carving and in painting, examples of which are at Figs. 314 and 315.
The ivy was used very much in borders of their painted vases (Fig. 316).
