Pattern for Silk or Paper ; the foliage round the dolphins is the acanthus, which supplies flower and foliage to most of the Grecian ornamental compositions. The flower may be seen introduced alternately with the honeysuckle on a capital from the Temple of Erechtheus, and on a fragment from the pediment of the Temple of Apollo Epicurius, in the British Museum. The outline of this design being very determined, adapts it well for a double white ground, or for mat to fill a large surface of glass from The practical cabinet maker & upholsterer's treasury of designs : house-furnishing & decorating
