[DCRM-L] Another question: cat's-paw calf binding

[Margaret Nichols]

Another question about bindings: I just cataloged a bound manuscript 
with a cat's-paw calf binding. Is this covered by any of the existing 
terms for calf bindings in Binding Terms? The narrow terms under 
"Calf bindings" give these choices:

Marbled calf bindings
Mottled calf bindings
Sprinkled calf bindings
Stained calf bindings

Would a binding with a cat's-paw pattern be considered mottled?

Thanks for any thoughts,

Margaret Nichols
