This might work different in my Scribus (1.3.3), but I click on insert 
then shape, then use the cursor to make size of frame wanted.  Then I 
right click on the frame and choose properties.  In properties there is 
a shape box.  I click on shape, and get a drop down menu of the 
different shapes.  Click on the one you need and it is inserted in your 
frame.
