Missing.

That's what that piece is called.

Cast stone.

Or ...

Applied masonry veneer.

The problem with applied masonry veneer on wood frame is that it needs a drainage plane behind the cast stone, and a weather resisting barrier behind the drainage plain.

That is *IF* masonry veneer is allowed to be (and I'm not sure it is allowed to be - I don't think it is) "adhered". With wood frame, I believe it is required to have at least a 1" air gap to serve as the drainage plane., then the weather resisting barrier would be on the wall.
