Notes
Not identified by Ashby, this unassuming moulding was also recorded in a perspectival drawing by Giuliano da Sangallo, which specifies that it was in the church of Santi Cosma e Damiano near the Roman Forum, but without giving further details. It was depicted just a little later on by a member of the circle of Antonio Labacco. The Coner drawing again came to the attention of Michelangelo who copied the profile.
