friezes
Ornamental architectural strips
Friezes is the plural of frieze, a horizontal decorative band running along a wall, building, or piece of furniture.
In classical architecture, the frieze sits between the architrave and cornice.
The term extends to any long horizontal decoration: The museum displayed friezes from ancient Greek temples.
A frieze can also be a heavy, coarse woolen fabric with a napped surface.
