What is a "meander"?

A meander is a decorative pattern that consists of a continuous line or motif that twists and turns, often resembling a winding path or river. This design is commonly used in architecture, art, and pottery, adding visual interest and rhythm to the surface. Meanders can vary in complexity, from simple curves to intricate, interlocking shapes. Often found in classical styles, such as Greek and Roman architecture, meanders serve both an aesthetic purpose and symbolize continuity and eternity, enhancing the overall character and beauty of the design.
