Jewelry The Metropolitan Museum of Art | Iznik Split-Leaf Palmette Enamel Bangle

The Mesmerizing Design Embellishing This Enamel Bangle Comes From The Split-Leaf Palmette Decoration On A Painted Dish (Ca. 1625–50) Attributed To The Renowned Iznik Kilns In Turkey. Most Likely Inspired By Persian Manuscript Illumination, The Split?Leaf Palmette Motif Became A Pervasive And Widely Adapted Design Element Within The Imperial Ottoman Workshop.
