Meandering through time

The Greek Key was the most important motif of ancient Greece, and the most common decorative element in Greek and Roman art. It is common in present day architecture as a neoclassical element. It symbolizes infinity and unity, and provides the geometric basis for fretwork. Rather suprisingly, it is also known as the Meander, recalling the twisting and turning path of the Maeander River of southwestern Turkey. The path leads us to these striking accents ~
