Architectural moulding profiles with calculations
Cornice and vault profiles in pen, a note of millet varieties, and columns of figures
The sheet is covered with drawn profiles of architectural mouldings, cornices and a vault seen in section, sketched in pen, one of them on the leaf turned upside down. Around them Leonardo has written several columns of figures and additions in red chalk and pen. A small red-chalk note lists grain varieties, and a tiny figure and further sums fill the margins.

Profiles of architectural mouldings
Pen drawings give the profiles of architectural mouldings, cornices seen in section, and on the inverted sheet a fragment described as a vault in profile ('volto di profilo').
Note of grain varieties
A short red-chalk memorandum lists cereal varieties: 'gerbin' millet, a red 'maze' millet, and a 'count's red'.
Columns of figures
Several columns of numbers and additions are scattered across the sheet, including a run of paired and summed figures.
