strapwork. Common Northern-European C16 and C17 ornament in the form of narrow
bands or
fillets, folded, crossed, cut, and interlaced, resembling narrow leather-straps or thongs. It occurred in an early guise in
Mudejar decoration in C15 Spain, but evolved in its most usual forms in early C16 decorations in
Tudor England and, especially, at
Fontainebleau, France (1533–5). Strapwork became common in Flanders, where complex
Mannerist designs were developed, later published by
Dietterlin,
Floris, de
Vries, and in sundry pattern-books, and was much used in English
Elizabethan and
Jacobean architecture, especially on funerary monuments in churches. It was often decorated with
jewels,
lozenges, and
roundels.
