distribution
Around the year 1180, the Danish stonemason Horder lined the Romanesque style baptismal font with dew ribbons, whereby the motif and technique of basket weaving may have served as a model. Dew bands also appear on portal frames etc.
Dew sticks are very common in half-timbered buildings in Lower Saxony in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time the houses were also provided with ship throats , also in combination with dew tapes. Both forms of decoration replaced the windboards of the Middle Ages, which were used to cover the overhangs typical of the half-timbered house.
