Wordless Weekend: Mother-of-Pearl Flowers

  
 
 
  


It's the 8-sided table inlaid with mother-of-pearl flowers, 1650. I took these photos in the Rijksmuseum, Museum of the Netherlands, Amsterdam.  What an awesome work!

      I did wanted to visit the Rijksmuseum, Judy because of the famous paintings by Rembrandt. I inadvertently found this beautiful table and was shocked watching such amazing work.
