| Descriptive Notes | Wolfe and Miura: Turkish combed pattern.
Historically, the Turkish pattern 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. In this case, after the desire colors were thrown, a stylus or a comb was then drawn through the bath in a variety of directions pulling the ink spots into various shapes and paths.
This sample is a second.
The primary colors for this green paper sample are grey, brown, white and blue.
