Suspended Decorative Ornament in Red Chalk
A hanging candelabrum-like pendant with scrollwork and swags
A single suspended decorative object is drawn in red chalk (sanguigna) in the upper half of an otherwise blank page. It resembles a hanging candelabrum or ornamental pendant, with three upright candle-arms across the top above a draped, shell-like bowl. From the bowl descend curling foliate scrolls that close in a small dangling terminal. No transcribed text accompanies the sheet.

Hanging ornamental pendant in red chalk
The ornament hangs from a central support carrying three upright candle-arms across the top. Below spreads a draped, shell-like bowl fringed with hanging swags, and from it fall curling scrollwork flourishes that close in a small pendant drop.
