Cray was the most complex of the large-scale designs named for rivers in that it required 34 printing blocks—more than any other. The two examples of Cray in the collection [1974.419a and 2018.827] appear to have been made with different sets of printing blocks, as the size of the pattern is slightly different in length and width.
