@ Asker The trouble is, there are very many things that could be described as a 'scroll', but which may well require different translations in FR.

Just try doing a Google image search on "scroll pattern" and see what a huge variety you get...

The same pattern as Kate's tiara The tiara Kate Middleton wore at her wedding is called "Scroll Tiara" maybe that helps ?

arabesque

Maybe? I think you'd probably really need to see it to see how best to describe it...

Maybe 'volute' would be better?

Public commente en live le mariage de Kate Middleton et du Prince William. ...les cheveux détachés et un diadème royal avec des fleurs de Lotus
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tony M : Although KM's might happen to have lotus flowers on it, one certainly couldn't by any stretch of the imagination say that all scrolls are lotus flowers.

That's right, no problem...
disagree Daryo : there was another tiara called "papyrus or lotus flower tiara" - it's not that one http://orderofsplendor.blogspot.co.uk/2011/05/tiara-thursday...
