The combination of truncated with nontruncated zigzags usually 
receives the name mountains (sketches 89 and 90). The step fig- 
ures in squares seen in sketches 91 and 92 cause this pattern to 
be likened to a rainbow and clouds, clouds over mountains, a neck- 
lace and pendants, or to embroidery. The forms shown in sketches 
93 and 94 are Nicola patterns, called clouds. The simple element,

zigzag designs and are interpreted like other zigzags. Sketches 102 
and 103 are often called arrow point designs because of the presence 
of the triangles.
