Title
Dado of Hide
Subject
These two complexes are the largest and most legible of a great mass of similarly decorated fragments which do not join up. On blue ground, which often shows an orange case, large-scale black blobs and clusters of blobs rise from thick black lines which seem to proceed at random. Such blobs are characteristic of bull hides.
