Thanks Mike,this was actually a reproduction of a old molding,nothing that i created..here you can see it a variation i made,that is of course bigger in size..

A good source of molding styles and 'how to' tips is "Carving Architectural Detail in Wood - The Classical Tradition" by Frederick Wilbur published by The Guild of Master Craftsmen.
