Notes
This cornice is of a type that has no modillions and, in this respect, it resembles all the others on the sheet, which were presumably grouped together because of this typological trait. It also resembles the others in having a decorated crowning cyma and is like those in Drawings 1 and 4 in having additional cyma reversa beneath this final cyma. No other drawings of this cornice are known.
