Three designs in pencil, ink and watercolour. The design at the top is for a decorative border, probably to be realised in terracotta. The two designs in the lower half of the sheet are for friezes each decorated with a symmetrical design depicting two faces, back-to-back, terminating in cornucopias. There is a sketch of a lion's head on the reverse.
