The innumerable adaptations of this in Greek and later designs are familiar enough to us.
The influence of weaving has been very great upon these wave borders. As I have before noticed, the woven borders, reducing the pattern to a fret, are shown on the pre-Persian statuary at Athens, and precede the most common and oft-repeated use of the fret or key pattern borders in Greece, and thence in all classical, mediæval, and modern times.

Another type of border, which may be connected with this, is found in the Ramesside age. As it occurs as stitching on leather, and is well adapted to quilting or sewing bands together, it may well have been derived from that; but it is also found on metal work, with which it does not seem to be connected by origin.
