Large Pendant, Upright Oval with Floral Ornament 1596

This engraving, created by Daniel Mignot in 1596, depicts a design for a large pendant. The intricate floral ornamentation and symmetrical composition are typical of the Mannerist style popular in the late 16th century. The pendant is adorned with a delicate ribbon, and the image is further embellished with stylized, winged creatures at the bottom, adding a touch of whimsy to the design. This detailed illustration would have been a valuable resource for goldsmiths and jewelers seeking inspiration for ornate jewelry.
