La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami, page 21 (verso) 1567

This is page 21 from Giovanni Ostaus's "La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami," a book of embroidery patterns published in 1567. This particular page features a decorative border pattern composed of three distinct rows. The top row depicts a procession of dancing cherubs, the middle row is a braided rope-like pattern, and the bottom row is a Greek fret, a geometric pattern, which is framed by a floral motif. The ornate patterns found in this book, such as this one, were popular with Italian artisans during the Renaissance period.
