Ornament print with five designs for the decoration of various objects. On the left side is a frieze meant for the decoration of a watch case with a dark ground and the decoratve pattern in a light color. The sheet further shows two designs for the decoration of the lids of tobacco boxes; one with a central scene showing Venus and Adonis and the other with a central cartouche showing the goddess Diana. Between these two lids are two smaller designs: one for a grip to be attached to a lid with an image of a Roman soldier and a senator or caesar (?); the other for a grip of a walking cane with a bust placed in a compartment just below the middle of the grip.
