Abstract
An synthetic resin frame for displaying a rectangular element has an arcuately contoured portion and a cross section providing an outer peripheral wall, an intermediate body portion and an inner peripheral wall extending substantially parallel to the outer peripheral wall and circumscribing an enclosure with an arcuately contoured peripheral portion. The base surface of the inner peripheral wall is disposed in a first plane spaced above a second plane defined by the base surface of the outer peripheral wall, and ribs on the body portion are spaced about the periphery of the frame with their base surfaces disposed in a third plane intermediate the first and second planes. These ribs define a rectangular enclosure spaced outwardly of the arcuately contoured enclosure and in which the rectangular element is seated.
