Vitruvian scroll patternDetail of a building showing the Vitruvian scroll pattern rendered in terra cotta
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.
