This is a print created by Theodor de Bry, a German engraver and publisher who worked between 1528 and 1598. "Ornament for Knife Handle" is a fine example of de Bry's intricate detail and use of graphic ornament. This design would have been intended for use on a knife handle, which would have been made of metal or other materials. The design features a central scene with three figures, including one in a feathered helmet, surrounded by foliage and flowers. This is a detailed example of German Renaissance decorative design, with a strong emphasis on intricacy and detail.
