A frieze is a decorative horizontal band or strip that runs along the upper part of a wall or building, often featuring carved or painted designs such as patterns, animals, or mythological scenes. Friezes matter because they are a fundamental architectural and artistic element used across many cultures and time periods to add visual interest, tell stories, and enhance the aesthetic appeal of structures.
