German term or phrase: Schmuckfriese
Aus einem Reiseführer über Spanien:

Im Erdgeschoss stellt das Museum zahlreiche maurisch-arabische Stücke aus, u.a. Glas, Keramik, *Schmuckfriese* und die mit Emailmalerei versehene Alhambra-Vase

Ich kenne mich auf dem Gebiet leider nicht aus u. weiß bis jetzt nur, dass Friesen "friezes" sind. Aber wie übersetze ich dann Schmuckfriese? Vielleicht "ornamental friese"???
