Ornament for Knife Handle

About this work

This image is a long, narrow design for a knife handle. The top shows a crown with faces and swirls, while the middle has a scene of a man in a tomb-like room, surrounded by angels. Below that, more angels and leafy patterns fill the space. The text at the bottom reads *"de Bry fe"*, and the scene looks like a story with symbolic figures—maybe from the Bible. The artist used black lines to create depth and texture. Check out how this was made with engraving.
