This page from the *Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer*, a pattern book by German engraver Johann Sibmacher, features two decorative designs in the style of *Renaissance ornament*, a style that emphasized geometric patterns and symmetry. The top design is a repeating pattern of large, intricate circles, while the lower pattern combines geometric shapes with smaller, more delicate circles. The designs would have been used by craftspeople to create various objects such as textiles and jewelry. Sibmacher's pattern books were popular in the early 17th century, demonstrating the growing demand for decorative motifs in European art and design.
