Not on view

Blackwork print with six motifs. In the center two horizontal panels are depicted, decorated with modern grotesque motifs. The one on the top shows what appears to be a stilized anvil, combined with bundles of fruit on a garland. The one below shows a big bird surrounded by smaller motifs. The panels are flanked on both sides by two ring bezels which have decorated with different Schweifwerk patterns. The print is a copy after Hans de Bull.
