Description:

Plate of ornaments showing four decorative variations on kohlrabi leaves and roots in the Art Nouveau style. The first image displays a hare leaping over young leaves while the second features a snail slowly making its way toward the root of a mature plant. The third composition brings together a fluttering butterfly attracted by the yellow flowers of the plant and an inquisitive lizard inching its way upward. The final design centers around a bird perched on bent stems and framed by undulating leaves filling almost all the available space.
