Frieze
In
architecture
the
frieze
is the wide central section part of an
entablature
and may be plain in the
Ionic
or
Doric order
, or decorated with
bas-reliefs
. Even when neither
columns
nor
pilasters
are expressed, on an
astylar
wall it lies upon the
architrave
('main beam') and is capped by the
molding
s of the
cornice
. A frieze can be found on many Greek and Roman buildings, the
Parthenon Frieze
being the most famous, and perhaps the most elaborate.
