Interlaced Geometric Star Medallion
Compass-drawn knot of stars, polygons and interweaving bands
A polygonal sheet carries a single elaborate design: an interlaced medallion in which straight bands weave over and under one another to form a six-pointed star around a central polygon, framed by triangles and interlocking borders. The pattern is set out with compass and straightedge in fine ink, a geometric knot of the kind Leonardo explored as decorative interlace. The e-Leo catalogue records the sheet as bearing no text.

Interlaced star-knot medallion
Straight bands weave over and under one another to build a six-pointed star around a central polygon, framed by triangles and interlocking borders. The whole reads as a decorative interlace or knot pattern.
Polygonal construction of the star pattern
The pattern is constructed on a regular polygon with compass and straightedge, its stars and frames generated from the underlying geometric grid.
