In general, a frieze consists of repeated copies of a single motif.
Conway and Guy (1996) define a frieze pattern as an arrangement of numbers at the intersection of two sets of perpendicular diagonals such that (for an additive frieze pattern) or (for a multiplicative frieze pattern) in each diamond.
