Continuous Bands and Borders for Partly Enriched Surfaces

Rule 6d. Bands and borders should have a consistent lateral, that is, onward movement.

Rule 6e. Bands and borders should never have a prominent contrary motion, opposed to the main forward movement.

Rule 6f. All component parts of a border should move in unison with the main movement of the border.

Rule 6g. Each component part of a border should be strongly dynamic and, if possible, partake of the main movements of the border.

Rule 6h. Borders intended for vertical surfaces may have a strongly upward movement in addition to the lateral movement, provided the lateral movement dominates.

Rule 6i. Inlayed enrichment should never form strong or glaring contrasts with the parent surface.

Rule 6j. Carved surface enrichment should have the appearance of belonging to the parent mass.
