Anonymous Cartographer's Rose Compass Plate 1520

The compass rose, in addition to representing the cardinal points and their intermediaries, was also a precious detail in 16th-century cartography, where each cartographer had their own style of drawing them.

Here represented in an exquisite and elegant decorative porcelain piece with a gold filament, it reflects the perfect symbiosis between manual tradition and reference design.
