Escutcheon

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white image of "Escutcheon" by an unknown artist. The image contains six identical vertically elongated ornamental designs. The designs are arranged horizontally in a row. Each design has a pointed shape at the top and bottom. The designs are made up of intricate curved lines and shapes. The designs feature a central keyhole-shaped cutout, with a heart-shaped cutout above and a keyhole-shaped cutout below. The designs are symmetrical, with identical patterns on either side of the center. The background is gray with a gradient effect, transitioning from light to dark.
