Loos introduced a sense of the immorality of ornament, describing it as degenerate , its suppression as necessary for regulating modern society.

A biological ornament is a structure of an animal that appears to serve a decorative function rather than an ostensible, utilitarian function. Ornaments are used in displays to attract mates. An animal may shake, lengthen, or spread out its ornament in order to get the attention of the opposite sex, which will in turn choose the most attractive one. Ornaments are most often observed in males and picking an extravagantly ornamented male benefits females because those good genes will be passed on to her offspring, increasing their survival or reproductive fitness. These genes are considered good solely due to the fact that it will increase the likelihood that a female will be attracted to the male that carries them. These structures usually serve as Animal sexual behaviour sexual cues, which are sensory signals used lead to mating responses.

Photograph of Muslim papier mach ornament painters in the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, taken by an unknown photographer in the 1890s. This image shows the interior view of a studio, with workers surrounded by painted papier mach objects. Kashmiri papier mach is famous for its decorative flower and bird designs, which owe much to the influence of Mughal art, and grew up in that area due to the introduction of the paper making industry during the time of the Mughal Emperor Babur. Papier mach objects are either made by pasting layers of soaked paper onto a mould, or by putting paper pulp into a mould and allowing it to set. When the required thickness is achieved the surface is covered with a layer of chalk and glue and then burnished to give a smooth base for the painted designs. Today the usual background colour is black but for luxury items this is painted with gold and silver paint and sometimes even gold and silver leaf.
