It is called "αβγό (also written as αυγό) και λόγχη". It is the standard decoration of the ionic cymatum (ιωνικό κυμάτιο). There is also the lesbian cymatium (λέσβιο κυμάτιο) composed of "heart and dart" (καρδιά και λόγχη).

Χαίρομαι που βοήθησα! All the best!

A couple more questions..what would be the Greek word for ornament, I’ve seen another video saying it’s κόσμος but isn’t that the world or the people. Also how are the lions heads called in Greek?...Don’t they function as water spouts for rain water? I remember seeing some nice examples I think in the museum at Delphi or was it at Epidauros. Παρεμπιπτόντως , tremendous videos !!! Thanks again.

Well the "κόσμος" you saw is correct. The word is mainly used today for "world" and "people", but in ancient Greek it also meant ornament. It is the same root. In modern Greek the word "κόσμημα" or "διάκοσμος" is used for ornament, decoration, jewel etc. The lion heads, yes, they serve as water spouts and can be found on the roofs of almost all big buildings. Although in some cases were dummies, just for decoration (like the 4 on the Parthenon). The Greek words are "λεοντοκεφαλή" = lion head, and "υδρορροή"=water spout, often used together as λεοντοκεφαλή-υδρορροή. "Λεοντοκεφαλή-ψευδοϋδρορροή" is for a dummy spout.
