Those 4 patterns don't have the same border, so they could not be found with one Border Type search. The Brussels pattern in the database has a selected Border Type of Miscellaneous/Vermicelli border. In the Cyrene border, we would name a border type dependent upon the cartouches, with background. Because the database is concerned mainly with the center pattern, it is much better to search by center pattern if you are looking for a pattern in the database. You can look at the list of Border Types in the database if you are looking for ideas on how to describe certain borders. If you are just looking for a description of the border type that has been used for a certain pattern, they just search the database, using the pattern name. The images in Williams & Weber are very poor for identifying border elements; however, the verbal descriptions are good.
