| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe and Miura: Turkish
Historically, this is the oldest of Western marbled patterns and dates back to as early as the middle part of the 15th century.
This pattern is created when one or more colors are thrown onto the surface of the bath using a marbling brush. The first colors thrown tend to constrict as other follow and become the 'vein' colors for the latter thrown inks.
The primary colors for this example are black, yellow, light grey and red.
