Decoration formed by folded, crossed, and sometimes interlaced thin strip – suggestive of leather straps – either applied (usually glued) or carved in wood, stone, or plaster. Interlaced bands of relief ornamentation. Consists of interlaced scrollwork, braiding, shield forms, or cross-hatching, often pierced with circular or oval holes. (Buffalo, 2017)
