Old woodcut

[blossfechter]

These are old woodcuts from 1570. They are from a fencing manual. How would you rate the scrollwork on the first one? One thing I noticed is it's not quite symmetrical, and that gives it an organic feel even though it is balanced.

I have the picture in a bigger size if anyone wants to see it.
