description

Summary

Horizontal rectangle.

Recto: Four left halves of escutcheons decorated with scrolls, leaves and surmounted by crowns. One shows a half-female-half-lion, another a head over a crescent and spear-head.

Verso: Interlacing pattern of band-work, probably intended to be carried out in marble or wood flooring. The ground is indicated in shading, perhaps a suggestion for Suite XIV, plate 1.

One sheet of paper drawn on recto and verso, mounted onto an album page with window cutout to see verso.
