Ornamental art refers to decorative elements added to objects, architecture, and surfaces to enhance their visual appeal. It focuses on intricate patterns, designs, and motifs that complement the functional or structural aspects of a piece. While it can serve practical purposes, such as masking joints or imperfections, its primary goal is aesthetic enhancement. Ornamental art is found in many cultures and periods, from ornate architectural details to decorative textiles, and is valued for its craftsmanship, beauty, and ability to express cultural or artistic identity.
