Zeitschrift für Ethnologie
This is a periodical of the Berlin and German anthropological and ethnological societies, published in Braunschweig in 1869 for scholars of ethnology and prehistory. Its plates show archaeological finds: a ribbed and incised clay vessel, a plain jar with lugs, a handled bowl with incised bands, and a bronze-hilted blade. A designer might take from them the incised linear band patterns and the simple tapering forms of early pottery and metalwork.
