Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi, page 20 (verso) 1530

This page from Giovanni Andrea Vavassore's "Opera Nova Universali intitulata Corona di racammi" (1530) presents a detailed design for embroidery. The intricate pattern features a central diamond shape surrounded by a grid of interlacing motifs, flanked by a vertical strip of stylized floral elements. This design, typical of the period, would have been used for embellishing garments, textiles, or household items. Vavassore's work, as seen in this book, is a significant contribution to the history of embroidery patterns, providing inspiration for needlework enthusiasts throughout the centuries.
