Its two pictures are woodcut border and title ornaments with a winged figure and a herm-like female figure set in scrolled cartouches, showing how Renaissance printers framed text with architectural strapwork, allegorical emblems and heraldic-style motifs a designer could adapt for frames or decorative panels.
