 | Meander |
| In art and architecture, a meander is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. The name 'meander' recalls the twisting and turning path of the Meander River. Meanders are common decorative elements in Greek art and Roman art. They appear on many friezes and at the top of some porticos. Meanders were among the most important symbols in ancient Greece. They, perhaps, symbolized infinity and unity. Many ancient Greek temples incorporated the sign of the meander. The design is common in present-day architecture as a neoclassical element. |
