This intricate design by Italian artist Pietro Paolo Tozzi is a page from his 1604 collection of floral ornaments entitled *Ghirlanda*. The page features an elaborate border of stylized leaves and flowers, framing a central rectangle with handwritten calligraphy. The page is a prime example of the *Ghirlanda* series, which is characterized by its elegant, almost whimsical, depictions of floral motifs. Tozzi's meticulous renderings of nature offer a window into the decorative arts of early 17th-century Italy.
