This intricately designed work, created in 1596, showcases an exquisite blend of mythical creatures and ornate decorative elements. At the top of the print, two elaborate brooches take center stage. The first brooch features a graceful bird perched atop a winged snake, symbolizing the ancient mythological concept of the serpent as a protector or companion. The second brooch showcases a bird in flight, its wings spread wide, adding a sense of dynamic movement to the composition. Below the brooches, two griffins, mythical creatures with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle, stand proudly with ornate vases in their paws. The vases, adorned with intricate floral designs, add a touch of elegance and balance to the overall design.
