Ã¬Most of the borders are leaf and stem but among the leaves hiding or beckoning climbing or leaning out are girls and men kings and boys priests and nuns who take part or seem to be commenting upon the stories.the pattern continues affectionate and cheeky erotic enjoyable and relevant decorative and explanatory a balance of taste and eye.
