Empresas militares de Lusitanos,
A 1624 Spanish-language book printed in Lisbon by Pedro Craesbeeck, printer to the King, and written by Luis Coello de Barbuda about Portuguese military exploits, with a subject tied to Fernão de Magalhães. The four pictures are identical woodcut-style vignettes of a flower-spilling urn with grotesque masks at its belly and a footed base. A designer could take from them a model for a symmetrical ornament that combines floral sprays with a classical vessel and carved faces.
