This is a page from Cesare Vecellio's *Corona*, a book published in 1620 that showcased a variety of needlepoint patterns. The image depicts a "Bavari di Ponto Aiere," a type of needlepoint lace. The design is a intricate geometric pattern of swirling and repeating motifs. The text in the image is in Italian and describes the pattern as "very beautiful." Vecellio's *Corona* was a popular source for needlepoint designs in the 17th century and remains an important resource for textile historians today.
