ornate decoration
Fancy detailed flourish
Ornate decoration is elaborate, highly detailed embellishment—the kind with flourishes, intricate patterns, and lavish detail.
The phrase is somewhat redundant since ornate already implies decorative excess, but it emphasizes the sheer degree of ornamentation: The cathedral's ornate decoration took craftsmen decades to complete.
