La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami, page 18 (verso) 1567

This page from Giovanni Ostaus's *La Vera Perfettione del Disegno di varie sorti di recami* (The True Perfection of Design in Various Kinds of Embroidery) is a detailed engraving of four different decorative borders, likely intended to be used in embroidery. The design style and layout of the borders are typical of Renaissance ornamentation with a focus on geometric forms, stylized foliage, and intricate details, offering inspiration for needlework artists of the time. The book was published in 1567 in Venice and reflects the rich history of embroidery and design in that region.
