Notes
This is probably a version of one of the alternative Guilloche torus mouldings shown in Adam vol.7/89, which shows alternative forms for the decoration of the base of a column, presumably from James Adam's Parliament House scheme, or possibly his royal theatre scheme, see Adam vol.7/184. There is another, less complete variation in Adam vol.7/100.
