Ornament for Knife Handle 

This engraving by Theodor de Bry, a German artist who lived between 1528 and 1598, shows a design for an ornament to be used as a knife handle. The design is full of intricate details featuring putti and other figures amidst ornate floral and geometric motifs. The central panel depicts a scene of Christian imagery, with two figures flanking a central figure. The artist has included a signature at the bottom of the plate, "dori de Bry fc. et", which may refer to the publisher or the workshop where this print was made. This artwork provides a fascinating glimpse into the decorative arts of the 16th century.
