Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer (Page 16r) 1604

This page from Johann Sibmacher's "Newes Modelbuch in Kupffer" (1604) features two intricate designs suitable for embroidery. The top design features a repeating motif of floral elements and fantastical creatures, while the bottom design showcases a geometric pattern with a repeating star shape. The book, a guide for embroidery, was published by Sibmacher in 1604. These designs, like the rest of the book, reflect the fashionable trends of the early 17th century, which embraced intricately woven patterns.
