This design, which I believe is part of the decoration, is called a 'swastika' or 'wan' fret, consisting of linked Chinese 'wan' characters, meaning 'eternal' and constituting a wish for long life. See example below:
卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍卍
These swastika forms are Buddhist symbols and not the same as the despised one associated with nazism.
Best regards,
Bill H.
