During the same period another motif in friezes was introduced: floral vases flanked by birds, dolphins or putti, the so-called albarradas. They were probably inspired by Flemish paintings of flower vases, such as by Jan Brueghel the Elder. These were still free-standing in the 17th century, but they would be used in repetitive modules in the 18th century. - http://deferranti.com/index.php/glossary/view/gl327321

All of the designs are geometric, and many are repetitive, simple motifs. Parallel zig-zag lines and repeating S motifs are particularly common (
