Band stand still, some would say (6)
I believe the answer is:
frieze
'band' is the definition.
(decorative band in architecture)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for frieze that I've seen before include "Decorative horizontal band" , "Very greedy eater" , "this band goes up the wall" , "Heavy fabric" , "Sculptured band between architrave and cornice" .)
