To its sides are two brooches: on the left, one with a horizontal oval stone inside a scrolling frame, flanked above by a smaller stone surrounded with petaloids and scrolls, and flanked below by a large, vertical oval stone, framed by small, round pearls; two oval stones hang from the sides of the upper frame, and hold two strips of pearls that surround the large stone, to meet a small, framed oval stone that flanks the large stone below. The brooch on the right is made up of a hexagonal stone, flanked below by a strip of two round pearls and an oval stone, and above by a bundle with roses and leaves, surrounded by scrolling motifs with pearls, ffrom which hangs a thin garland with small, stylized flowers and leaves. On the lower-left corner of the sheet is an ornamental design with scrolling strapwork, decorated with thin bundles of stylized flowers and leaves, and on the lower-right is a design for an ornamental corner, featuring a bundle of large, stylized flowers and leaves, and C-curved scrolls.
