The largest objects include a cross-section view of a building with arches and vegetation at the top, and a large rectangular block with circular holes.

The objects are arranged with schematic precision; on the top is a landscape scene (Fig. I), below which there are consecutive rows and columns of architectural elements and structures labeled Fig. II, Fig. III, and Fig. IV.
