This intricate design features repeating floral motifs, likely intended as a pattern for embroidery or other decorative arts. The gridded background provides a framework for the design, making it easy to replicate.

The detail and craftsmanship of the design highlight the artistic skill of Pagano. This work is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York, NY.
