Zeitschrift für Ethnologie
A periodical of ethnology issued in 1869 by Berlin and German anthropological and ethnological societies, published in Braunschweig and aimed at scholars of human cultures. Its woodcut plates show prehistoric pottery sherds and vessels, with incised, impressed and painted patterns that a designer could draw on for surface pattern, banding and geometric motifs, such as zigzags, wavy lines, and rows of short strokes.
