A frieze is a wide horizontal band with painted or sculpted decorations (often near the top of a wall and/or near the ceiling).

The most famous frieze can be found on the Parthenon which is located in Greece.

Animal figures on the Grecian Parthenon were there as a sacrifice and being led to a sacrificial altar.
