Our collectible ornament was made expressly for the 2025 holiday season, inaugurating the Getty Museum's new tradition of presenting an annual design from each location inspired by works from its renowned collection.
This year's Getty Center piece is inspired by a fourteenth century illuminated missal. Its gilded scrolls and foliate patterns are reimagined as a symmetrical motif of intertwining vines, reflecting the grace and precision of Gothic design.
