diaper

In Gothic architecture, a small pattern of a conventional nature, generally geometrical but sometimes floral in design, used for the surface decoration of stone. The idea was probably taken from the diapered pattern of Byzantine silks, and was also used in glass painting and illuminated manuscripts. There are good examples at Westminster Abbey and at Bayeux Cathedral.
