Mark.  At first glance it looked handpainted, but at close examination I
could identify the transfer printing stippling.  It is certainly possible
that it started out as a monochrome then was given the color treatment  The
animal in the foreground is rendered in black and stands on green grass. 
Two unidentifiable landmarks in the background are blue and mustard yellow.
 Other artifacts recovered from this level included ab ironstone rimsherd
with a molded Ceres or wheat pattern (ca. 1860's+) and an Osgood's India
Cholagogoue bottle produced in NY that indicates that it dates to the 1859+
period.
