This little mirrored vanity tray was one of my weekend projects. I took a small mirror and cut vinyl in the shape of one of the circular ornaments from Peter Flotner’s 1549 _Mauresques et Damasquinures_. There is a copy available at https://bibliotheque-numerique.inha.fr/collection/item/19133-mauresques-et-damasquinures

Another version at the Met titled _Grotesken und Mauresken_ https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/343652

And the 1548 Thomas Geminus version of _Morysse and Damashin renewed and increased, very profitable for Goldsmythes and Embroderars_ at the V&A http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O77351/morysse-and-damashin-renewed-and-print-geminus-thomas/

I’m thinking I might see if I can find some larger mirrors and do a grouping with some other patterns in a variety of sizes in several colors and hang them on the wall above my staircase.
