Moulding
In furniture, a shaped strip of wood, of uniform cross-section, and which is sometimes carved, used either as decoration, or to conceal a joint. In pottery, it was once a term applied to any item that had been cast in a mould, but now applies to any carved projection, in wood or stone, or even one cast in plaster.
