Border composed of a small geometric design of curved lines. Arabesque design composed of a motif of a triumphal arch through which a warrior (Roman) is running, back view, carrying a long spear in one hand and a shield in the other. Opposite is the second motif-an urn of flowers setting in a hanging metal rack. The design is classical in feeling and these two motifs alternate. Paper consists of small sheets joined together. Printed in green and red on a blue field. Block-printed on handmade paper
