FEWKES] FOOD-BOWL DECORATIONS 725 
There are a number of forms which I am unable to classify with the 
foregoing, none of which show any new decorative design. All possi- 
ble changes have been made in them without abandoning the elemental 
ornamental motives already considered. The tendency to step or ter- 
race patterns predominates, as exemplified in simple form in figure 
Fia. 344—Terrace pattern with parallel lines 
343. In figure 344 there is a different arrangement of the same terrace 
pattern, and the design is helped out with parallel bands of different 
length at the ends of a rectangular figure. A variation in the depth 
of color of these lines adds to the effectiveness of the design. This 
style of ornamentation is successfully used in the desigus represented 
Fia. 345—Terrace pattern 
in figures 345 and 346, in the body of which a crescentic figure in the 
black serves to add variety to a design otherwise monotonous. The 
two appendages to the right of figure 346 are interpreted as feathers, 
althongh their depart forms widely from that usually assumed by these 
designs. The terraced patterns are replaced by dentate margins in 
Fic. 346—Triangular pattern with feathers 
this figure, and there is a successful use of most of the rectangular and 
triangular designs. 
In the specimens represented in figures 347 and 348 marginal denta- 
tions areused. I have called the design referred to an S-form, which, 
however, owing to its elongation is somewhat masked. The oblique 
bar in the middle of the figure represents the body of the letter, the 
two extremities taking the forms of triangles.
