This anonymous 15th-century panel of ornament exemplifies the intricate and decorative style of the period. The artwork features a central motif of a grotesque face surrounded by a lush and flowing arrangement of stylized flowers, leaves, and tendrils. The colors, primarily shades of green, red, and yellow, were likely applied with watercolors, creating a vibrant and lively effect. This small-scale panel is thought to have been intended as a design study, possibly for a larger decorative project.
