Trionfo Di Virtu. Libro Novo..., page 18 (recto)
Published by Matteo Pagano, Italian, 1515-1588, Venice.
From top to bottom, and left to right:
Design consists of a central section that is composed of 4 horizontal registers. First register is decorated with a pattern of a pair of sideways flowers that connect to one another by their stems. Second register is decorated with a pattern of diamonds that have a group of 3 acorns attached to the outside of the top and bottom corners. Third register is decorated with an angular zigzagging line. Fourth register appears very similar to the second register; however, a group of 3 'u' shapes flank the top and bottom of each diamond, instead of acorns. Surrounding all sides of this design are decorative borders (top and bottom borders are divided into 2 halves, each ornamented with a different pattern).
