This image is a black-and-white design with lots of swirling lines and shapes. At the center is a cross with a crown on top, surrounded by fancy patterns. Around it are letters, tiny buildings, and strange symbols—some look like anchors, others like stylized flowers or birds. The text at the bottom reads something in Latin, with the year 1593 clearly visible. The whole thing looks like a detailed stamp or seal, with small decorative boxes at the corners. Next, check out how this was made using engraving.
