I would like to indicate that my drawing has been cutoff at a certain point by wavy lines. I don't know the exact term for that style and thus came up with the example above. Is there a more elegant way to do this? Maybe a package, custom arrow tip? Or do I just need to experiment with the pathmorphing?

Ideally the wavy line would be the top part of a white filled box with all other edges also white, so I can just move it over my original drawing.
Inspired by this answer:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document}    

usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}

usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}

usetikzlibrary{shapes}

begin{tikzpicture}

draw[black] (0,-2) -- (0,0);



node[tape, draw, tape bend height=4mm, tape bend top=out and in,  tape bend bottom=none,fill=white,minimum width=4cm,minimum height=2cm] at (0,-2) {};





end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

end result should look something like this:

Given @current_user input I was able to create the following:

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document} 

begin{tikzpicture}

draw (0,0) circle (1);

draw (-1,-3) -- (6,-3) -- (2.5,8) -- cycle;

draw[black] (-1,-2) -- (-1,14);

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

documentclass{article}

usepackage{tikz}

begin{document} 

begin{tikzpicture}

pgfmathsetmacro{startx}{-2}

pgfmathsetmacro{endx}{6}

pgfmathsetmacro{starty}{0}

pgfmathsetmacro{endy}{14}





begin{scope}

clip  foreach x in {startx,2,...,endx} { (x,starty) to [bend left=25]  (x+2,starty) to [bend right=25]  (x+4,starty)}  -- (endx+4,endy) -- (startx,endy) -- (startx,starty);

draw (0,0) circle (1);

draw (-1,-3) -- (6,-3) -- (2.5,8) -- cycle;

draw[black] (-1,-2) -- (-1,14);

end{scope}

draw  foreach x in {startx,2,...,endx} { (x,starty) to [bend left=25]  (x+2,starty) to [bend right=25]  (x+4,starty)} ;

end{tikzpicture}

end{document}

Defining in the clipping area the region I want to keep vs. the region to omit seemed a bit counter intuitive to me, but it works now.
