content: Vertical sheet with four sketches of architectural elements. At top left is a faucet in the shape of a winged bird. At right is the section of a door from the church of St. Anastasia. The door is composed of rows of small tri-lobed arches, possibly painted white, and decorated by nailheads. Below this at right is another wood door from St. Anastasia also with a creamy-white finish. This door is ornamented by rows of carved quatrefoils with a border of half-rosettes and a diamond pattern. Dark gray nailheads stand out in contrast. At lower left is a section of an iron railing consisting of joined quatrefoils.
