Rectangular quatrefoil - R. Sale - 29-01-2017
Originally posted as 'Heraldic quatrefoil' which seems to have gone missing in the recent situation.
Ellie Velinska has an old post on this pattern.

And JKP posted a recent example of a band composed of simple squares, each with four lines extending from the midpoint of each side going part way to the interior.
The pattern is found in heraldry. And once you know what you're looking for, it shows up fairly frequently either in banded patterns or as medieval wallpaper.

The interior markkings may be line or loops. Both occur in the VMs. The center may be pierced, dotted or unmarked. Heraldica shows the cinqfoil pierced and painted solid. In heraldry its use was minimal with the cinqfoil much preferred.
There is another version of a quatrefoil composed of four circles joined together, so I have added 'rectangular' to distinguish this variation.
