Ionic is one of three column styles builders used in ancient Greece and the Ionic order is one of five classical orders of architecture. More slender and more ornate than the masculine Doric style, an Ionic column has scroll-shaped ornaments on the capital, which sits at the top of the column shaft.
Ionic columns are said to be a more feminine response to the earlier Doric order. The ancient Roman military architect Vitruvius (c. 70-15 BC) wrote that Ionic design was "an appropriate combination of the severity of the Doric and the delicacy of the Corinthian." Architectural styles that use Ionic columns include Classical, Renaissance, and Neoclassical.
Meander was the most important symbol in Ancient Greece, symbolizing infinity or the eternal flow of things. ... The meander motif appears frequently on Greek pottery, especially in the Geometric period, but is also used in monumental sculpture, for example, in frieze decoration on temple pediments.
