- The first row is a classic Greek key (meander) pattern, consisting of a continuous line that forms a repeated motif of right angles.
- The second row features a variation of the Greek key with additional internal lines creating a more complex, interlocking design within each unit.
- The third row displays a spiral or volute pattern, where each unit is a stylized swirl or coil, often associated with Ionic column capitals.
- The fourth row shows a wave or guilloche pattern, characterized by undulating, flowing curves that resemble water waves.
- The fifth row presents another Greek key variant, but with a more angular and compact form, sometimes called a “swastika” or “gammadion” key, though it is not related to the Nazi symbol.
- The sixth row combines checkerboard elements with Greek key motifs, alternating between solid squares and the meander pattern for a contrasting, geometric effect.
