TUSSINGER'S "LACEWORK"
These three Tussinger
eccentrics represent the most elaborate and delicate design pattern
in the collection. They are the most impressive eccentrics and are
best described as having "lace-work edges." They represent some of
the most delicate edge work of all the eccentrics. The design was
applied using large round
expanding notches all along the biface edges. Then another series of V-shaped notches
were applied between the large notches which formed the thin and delicate
"branches." On some of the notches, as can be seen on the example to
the left, in order to further complicate the design a small
projection was left isolated at the center of the V-shaped notches.
