Ideally it would be foam of some sort, rather than plaster.

Anyone know of a source?

Most any Lumber Yard or DIY store should have stuff along that line.
It
comes in wood and foam.


I think I didn't explain my attempt at drawing-it's supposed to be the
outline of the finished "picture frame" where the lines are the molding
forming a picture frame, not the outline of the molding itself. The
corners are actually curved, rather than the straight lines I show. The
molding itself is very ornate with vines on it.

I did some Googling after I posted here and there are on line sources.
It's called panel molding and does come in plaster and polyurethane, but I
can't find anything that looks similar, especially the corners.

There any many many verities made. I am guessing you are trying to
match something. That is going to be a problem. Some places will make it
up for you, but then you will need to pay the price for custom work..

Good Luck
