decorative object
Purely aesthetic item
A decorative object is something displayed primarily for aesthetic effect rather than practical function—a vase, figurine, or ornamental bowl.
The term often appears in contexts distinguishing such items from functional ones: The insurance policy covers decorative objects separately from furniture.
What counts as merely decorative can be dismissive: It's just a decorative object, not real art.
