Description:
The rim of the vessel is regularly scalloped (a series of repeating arcs), and the lines of the shell motif are straight (at right angles to the rim) rather than wavy. The painting around the edge is sometimes only a simple band of color, with no attempt to following the impressed lines of the motif.
Stylistic Genre:
Shell Edge. Select Shell Edge plus the appropriate color (i.e. Shell Edge Blue, Shell Edge, Green, etc.)
