Does this architectural type shape have a name ?

Have been given this rough sketch as to the decorative shape as to what I have to make to go on top of a bookcase.

If I had a name for it I could maybe find the correct proportions etc so as I could make it properly

Astragal?

thanks, "Astragal" that was the word that has been evading me all morning.

doesn't seem to be any special rules with radius's or heights.... just do my own thing then

I’m not sure the shape has a name, but that decorative feature is known as a pediment.
