WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THING?

WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THING?

Ok the brownstone I live in has a great staircase, with a cool newel post, there is also a small landing at the foot of the stairs. At the base of the stairs there is another newel post and a thing on top of it that extends out from the wall. It's a cool detail i would like to keep but maybe replace with something nicer. Can someone tell me what this thing is called? I'll post an image soon. help.

Colorful Stair Runners

Hi! I've seen some English stair runners that are quite colorful and others with fantastic designs - however, I have not been able to find links to them. Please help if you know of any.
