Decorative knot designs and a wedge device
Interlaced ornamental knots with a mechanism of inserted wedges, in pen
The sheet is filled with pen studies. At the upper left is an interlaced knot or ornamental band, and at the lower centre a larger looped knot design whose rounded lobes are marked with letters such as c and d. At the upper right Leonardo sketches a device with inserted wedges, built up from hatched rectangular blocks. No running text accompanies the page beyond the cataloguer's captions.

Interlaced knot and ornamental designs
Two interlace designs are drawn: a compact woven band at the upper left, and a larger looped knot at the lower centre whose rounded lobes carry letters such as c and d. Both are studies in decorative interlace.
Device with inserted wedges
At the upper right a mechanism is sketched from hatched rectangular blocks, with wedge-shaped pieces driven between them, matching the caption device with inserted wedges.
