In Sikuli currently region and images to search can only be compound rectangular areas.

If you want to check, wether a rectangular frame around a rectangular area (whose content does not matter in the first place), then you have to search in the edge areas with according images.

In many cases it might be sufficient, to only search one edge area to decide, that the whole frame matches. And it might be sufficient to capture only a small part of the frame as search image.

fr = some_region # the outer shape of the frame
frw = 50 # the frame width - supposed to be even at all 4 edges

frl = fr.left(1).right(frw) # the left edge area
frt = fr.above(1).below(frw) # the top edge area
