window ledge

Frame's horizontal base

A window ledge is the horizontal surface at the bottom of a window frame, either inside or outside a building.

Indoor ledges serve as small shelves for plants, decorations, or cats: The cat spent hours sunning herself on the window ledge.

Outdoor ledges are architectural features that may accumulate snow or provide precarious perches.

Interchangeable with windowsill.
