Master B.H.M.

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a series of thin lines and shapes arranged in an intricate and abstract design. Among the lines and shapes are skeletal figures and ornate motifs, giving the piece a decorative quality. The lines curve and interweave to suggest foliage or vines, while small humanoid shapes engage in various activities. The central part features an emblem-like shape that resembles a coat of arms or decorative crest.
