Spanish term or phrase: orla circular
I don´t know what an orla circular is, I have checked the DRAE and none of the definitions seem to fit. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance

Entre los restos arquitectónicos aparecidos en las termas ...un fragmento de fuste en mármol veteado blanco y negro y una ORLA circular con guirnaldas de motivos vegetales que enmarcaba un tema central, muy posiblemente de Medusa que no se conserva a excepción de unas mechas de cabello.

circular border
Explanation:
Since it's surrounding the picture of Medusa, it seems clear to me that it's a decorative border in the shape of a circle.
