Anthemion, a term derived from anthos = flower in the ancient Greek language, is a stylized flower used as a decorative theme. This is a classic decoration that uses the leaves of the hollyhock or other plants and is used in friezes or as a decorative element to hide imperfections at the edges of a roof, or at points of connection of building elements.

The most common type of ancient Greek anthemium resembles the flowers of the hollyhock, but the type resembling the leaves of the palm tree is also widely used. The above types are found in classical Greek and Roman architecture and related art trends, such as Classicism, Neoclassicism, etc.
