OrnamentOrnament

• In architecture and decorative art, ornament is a decoration used to embellish parts of a building or object.

• Large figurative elements such as monumental sculpture and their equivalents in decorative art are excluded from the term; most ornament does not include human figures, and if present they are small compared to the overall scale.

• Architectural ornament can be carved from stone, wood or precious metals, formed with plaster or clay, or painted or impressed onto a surface as applied ornament.
