Ornament for Knife Handle is a 1563 ink by Theodor de Bry, a Renaissance work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows an old piece of paper with some fancy designs on it. There are two tall, thin shapes on the right and left sides, and a round shape in the middle. The top of the page has some writing around a picture of people. The designs are very detailed and look like they were made with a special tool. The round shape in the middle has some writing in it, but it's hard to read. The whole thing looks like it was made a long time ago. If you want to learn more about this kind of art, you should check out the Renaissance movement.
Theodor de Bry (also Theodorus de Bry; 1528 – 27 March 1598) was a Walloon engraver, goldsmith, editor and publisher, famous for his depictions of early European expeditions to the Americas.
