“The Sixth Knot”. Interlaced Roundel with Seven Wreaths
Albrecht Dürer German
After Leonardo da Vinci Italian
Not on view
Embroidery pattern made up out of so-called knot work. The main pattern has a circular shape and is presented in white on a dark ground. The knotted ropes or straps form almost circular wreaths: one in the middle and six surrounding it. On all four corners another, leaf-shaped ornament has been added which sticks out of the circle. The leaves are filled with more knot work in white on the dark ground while swirling straps in black surround them.
