Mistress Irisko’s Laurel Scroll (canivet or paper cutting)

This scroll was presented to Mistress Irisko at her elevation this past weekend (17SEP22) during the Crown Tourney. The scroll is sitting behind glass due to its fragility so there is some glare and reflection on the glass. The inspiration for the scroll came from the Lace Book of Marie de’Medici (second half of the 1600’s) as well as the Jewish traditional marriage contract known as Ketubah. In this case, the technique used is known as canivet and was developed around the late 1500’s. I will have a separate blog post on canivet (modernly known as paper cutting) soon and I will also have the full scroll description in the listing of my artwork.
