tracery
Gothic window filigree
Tracery is ornamental stonework in the upper part of a Gothic window, where the glass is divided by intersecting bars into decorative patterns.
The term extends to any similar decorative latticework: the delicate tracery of bare branches against the winter sky, frost tracery on the windowpane.
The word suggests intricate, interlocking patterns.
