egg&dart
text set in kennerley old style—vide ‹the door in the wall›. borders composed of egg&dart unit [lanston monotype 367]. a. d. f. hamlin , in his A History of Ornament, Ancient and Medieval [the century company, new york, 1916, pp107-8] tell us of ancient greek development of egg&dart: «The ‘egg-and-dart’ appears frequently on the lips of vases, and both it and other U-shaped and scale-like imbrications are used on the bodies. These related forms are probably derived from lotus-and-bud, as suggested in fig. 139 [second illustration]; but it is equally likely that the scale-ornament was derived from the use of feathers, scales in armor, or other like industrial imbrications.» the greek designs were adapted from ancient egyptian designs, these referencing still earlier assyrian designs.
