What is frieze?

A frieze is like a long, fancy border that wraps around a room or building, it's like the ribbon you tie around a gift box, but much bigger and more interesting.

Imagine walking into your favorite room in your house. Now picture there being a special strip of art, maybe painted pictures, carved shapes, or even colored tiles, running all the way along the top of the walls. That’s a frieze! It's like a story told across the wall, and it helps make the room feel more special.

A frieze usually has patterns that repeat, just like how your socks have stripes or dots that keep going all around. These repeating designs can be simple or super detailed, but they always look neat and tidy because they match up perfectly from one end of the wall to the other.

Sometimes, friezes even show people or animals doing things, like dancing, fighting, or playing games. It's as if you're looking at a little movie that's painted on the wall!
