[DCRM-L] Fore-edge decoration description

[Randal S. BRANDT]

I'm trying to describe an edge decoration situation I've never seen before.
Since a picture is more effective than words, please see some images I

Right now, I've got "edges sprinkled [?] in alternating red and green
stripes". Can anyone come up with something better? Is there a technical
term for this type of decoration?

FYI, the book in question is Gart der Gesundheit (Augsburg : Johann
Schönsperger, 1486).

Thanks!
