Imita-tions ofBrecciaVeining. vessels, and is itself a striking proof of early relations with the further shoresof the Libyan Sea. The M. M. I ceramic tradition is maintained and developed in severaldirections. In cups like Fig. 178 ^ we can still trace the imitation of thebrilliant veins of breccia and marble vases that is so closely bound up with theorigin of the polychrome style on pottery. Among the examples given inFig. 127 above of such imitative decoration^ d, with white-spotted brown veinson a buff ground, and probably also c, with white-edged red veins on a blackground, belong to this Period. The bizarre striation of these is directly takenover from the stone originals, and the white edging by which the veining is.
