Mannelijke term met decoratie van leeuwenkoppen en vogel 1572

This 16th-century anonymous engraving depicts a male term, a classical architectural element often used as a decorative support. The term is adorned with a wreath of leaves, lion heads, and a bird, all intricately detailed. The term’s robust form and the richness of the ornamentation create a visually striking and aesthetically pleasing design, characteristic of the Renaissance period. The engraving, with its focus on classical elements and its meticulous detail, likely served as a guide for architects and sculptors seeking inspiration from the rich tradition of classical art.
