Cameo binding

A style of bookbinding, also called "plaquette binding", popular in Italy during the Sixteenth Century, in which the centre of the boards forming the cover was relief stamped in imitation of a coin or medallion, and was sometimes embellished with ink or foil. Such a centrepiece has been combined with cornerpiece ornamentations. See cartouche, binding.
