    Personally I just call it a bracket frame, though there MUST be a more technical term :)

Bracket Frame.

Because thanks to @Bakabaka, I am sure that Google agrees :)

    When adding a link to a Google search the best way to do it is http://gog.is/keyword+keyword+keyword. With your previous link, my browser flashed a page of incomprehensible gibberish before it correctly interpreted the link. Just a friendly and hopefully useful tip.

For whatever reason "bracket frame" just isn't cutting it for me. Seems like a more stylized derivative of the barbed quatrefoil.

barbed quatrefoil

It's killing me that I can't find a more "official" name for it, but the first thing I thought of was this episode of 99% Invisible from a few weeks back. Maybe someone else feels like digging into The Grammar of Ornament for more context.

Or just stick with bracket frame.
