Window tracery is of two sorts, plate tracery and bar tracery. Plate
tracery, common in Italy, consists of a series of ornamental patterns
cut through a flat plate of stone. Bar tracery is a decorative pattern
formed by the curves and intersections of the molded bars of the
mullions. Window tracery is imitated in many decorative objects, as
panels of wood or metal either pierced or in relief. See also Stump
tracery under Stump, and Fan tracery under Fan.
(b) A similar decoration in some styles of vaulting, the ribs of the
vault giving off the minor bars of which the tracery is composed.
