Title
Barred and Spotted Dado
Subject
Fragments sharing with some dadoes at least two motifs: wavy vertical zones with crossbars of contrasting colors; and beast-markings. Ordinarily used separately to imitate stone-facings or hanging hides, these motifs are here combined in an improbable manner which does not even suggest hides handing on a stone wall.
