Metopes

the rectangular, usually almost square panels between the triglyphs in a Doric frieze. Metopes were sometimes decorated with high reliefs or, less frequently, with paintings. In the period preceding the development of stone architecture in ancient Greece, the spaces between the beam sockets that were visible on the building’s facade were called metopes.
