My immediate thought was "spattered" but as far as I know that is not a technical term! sorry ... one finger and a wet toothbrush comes to mind...

Was the book ever in Italian ownership, just as a matter of interest? (given the colours).

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 posted Flickr:

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!
