Strapwork Relief Ornament with Interlacing Bands and Floral Motifs

2410

Created during the Mannerist period of the 16th century (circa 1530–1600).

This object is a carved architectural relief panel fragment. The technique features high-relief stone or stucco carving, creating a tactile interpretation of flat leather, parchment, or metal straps bending, looping, and intersecting in three dimensions.
