"Ornamento nobile...Fatta da Lucretia Romana (Libro V of the Corona), page 4 (recto)" is a woodcut print by Cesare Vecellio, from his 1620 publication *Corona*, which presents elaborate and detailed designs for Venetian needlepoint. The design in the print, titled "Bavari di Ponto Aierb," showcases a delicate geometric pattern of interlaced floral motifs, punctuated by figures engaged in various activities, such as hunting and horseback riding. The intricate detail of the design reflects the artistry and skill involved in Venetian needlepoint, a highly valued craft during the Renaissance. This page, like many in the *Corona*, exemplifies the rich history and artistic significance of needlework, serving as both a practical guide and an art form in its own right.
