Black and white illustration of an ornate fillet. The illustration is long and rectangular. At the top, foliage designs and two pillar-like structures are visible. Below is a horizontal element with two winged creatures and foliage. Hanging from this element are several strings of foliage interspersed with circular designs. Toward the bottom, another ornate structure features two scenes. The bottom scene depicts the crucifixion with a man on the cross and three people standing below. A second scene above shows the Virgin and Child sitting on a throne. The entire design is intricately detailed with curving lines and patterns. The illustration has an aged appearance with darker shading on the designs. The background of the illustration is off-white.
