Types of Borders & Frames
This triptych honours board has a simple visual frame on all three panels rather than a physical frame.
The purpose of a frame is sometimes structural but often it is there simply to
act as a border that restrains the viewer's eye from wandering and focuses their attention.
In this case a simple gold borderline functions as a frame.
