Constructional peculiarities of the clay utensils themselvesare especially worthy of notice, and on account of their actual presencein the art itself are more likely to be utilized or copied for ceramicornament than those of other materials.

From it we have not only a great variety of surfaceornamentation produced by simple treatment of the coil in place, butprobably many forms suggested by the use of the coil in vessel building, as, for instance, the spiral formed in beginning the base of a coiledvessel, Fig. 478 _a_, from which the double scroll _b_, as a separatefeature, could readily be derived, and finally the chain of scrolls sooften seen in border and zone decoration.
