A frieze on a cylinder
The symmetry of the cylinder with this decoration is a prismatic symmetry 2*n (here n=5). We can imagine it as obtained from a frieze, with symmetry type 2*∞, which has been rolled up on the cylinder.
You can see another example, among the seven possible ones.
Or you can have a look at the Conway notation in the further information pages.
