marbled leather
The leather covers of a book which have been
decorated with veined or mottled colors in an
effort to imitate marble. Unlike the technique
used in edge and paper marbling, leather marbles
are produced by sprinkling or throwing the
marbling water and colors directly onto the
paste-washed and glaired leather. See the
following examples: COMMON MARBLE ;GREEN AGATE MARBLE
