Theodor de Bry’s “Ornament” is an engraving depicting two designs for silver vessels. The ornate, decorative patterns showcase the intricate details of Renaissance-era metalwork. Both vessels are cylindrical, one featuring a winged figure with a staff, and the other with a winged figure with a crown. These designs are meant to be used as inspiration for silversmiths or other metalworkers. De Bry was a prolific printmaker, known for his travel journals and engravings of natural history and decorative arts. His detailed and precise work reflected the growing interest in the decorative arts during the Renaissance.
