engraved design

Incised decorative image

An engraved design is a pattern or image cut into a hard surface—metal, wood, glass, or stone.

The term emphasizes the decorative result rather than the process: The ring featured an engraved design of intertwining vines.

Engraved designs appear on jewelry, trophies, gravestones, and currency.
