Knoop van gevlochten stof c. 1590 - 1596

"Knoop van gevlochten stof" is a small, circular, woven object made of tightly interlaced strands of natural fiber. This piece, attributed to an unknown artist, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the late 16th century in the Netherlands. The object's intricate weave, visible in the image, showcases the skill and patience of the maker. The small size of the object, 0.9 centimeters in height and 1.8 centimeters in diameter, indicates its likely use as a decorative element, possibly a button or a closure. The object is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, offering a glimpse into the everyday objects and artistic sensibilities of the past.
