Red-Chalk Sketches, Figures, and a Name
Coiling motifs, columns of numbers, a small architectural sketch and a jotted name
The leaf is covered with faint red-chalk work: coiling, scrolling forms that the catalogue leaves undetermined, a small sketch at the upper right tentatively read as architectural, and several groups of numbers. A name, 'Messer Pieranton Codiga', is written at the top. Near the foot are a circle and an oval enclosing further figures, suggesting rough calculations or tallies.

Columns and clusters of figures
Several groups of numbers are jotted across the sheet, including 448, 1000 | 621 and 166, and lower down 50, 25, 74 and 12. They read as loose calculations or tallies rather than a fully worked problem.
Coiling scroll-like motifs in red chalk
The centre and left of the sheet carry curling, coiling forms drawn in red chalk. The catalogue records these as indeterminate drawings, so their decorative or foliate character is only suggested by their swirling shapes.
Small architectural sketch (uncertain)
At the upper right is a small sketch that the catalogue reads, with a question mark, as an architectural drawing. Its forms are too summary to identify a specific building.
A jotted name: Messer Pieranton Codiga
Across the top the leaf carries the name 'Messer Pieranton Codiga', a personal memorandum of a man's name with no further explanation.
