This sheet is inscribed with a descriptive note by Lulls.  There is a second sheet affixed to this bearing a pen and ink drawing of a pendant consisting of a diamond (?) rising from a crown supported by two winged cherubs (probably not an integral part of the design) which surmount a large heart-shaped ruby from which in turn, is suspended a large pearl.  The album consists of three preliminary leaves of contemporary laid paper (two with unidentified watermarks), forty leaves of vellum and three final leaves of paper corresponding to those at the front of the album.  Inserted are nine sheets of paper and three of vellum bearing designs, notes, transcripts of letters etc.  92 pages, full-bound in contemporary calf skin, gold-tooled, gilt edges, with fragments of green silk ties on the fore-edges of the front and back covers.  The drawings are in pencil, pen and ink, wash, body-colour and gold.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Lulls","id":"AUTH320736"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"AAT25190"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"calf","id":"AAT227525"},{"text":"vellum","id":"AAT250699"},{"text":"paper","id":"x30308"},{"text":"pencil","id":"x30347"},{"text":"pen and ink","id":"x30618"},{"text":"body","id":"x32506"},{"text":"gold","id":"AAT11021"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"AAT54196"},{"text":"wash","id":"AAT182748"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Designs in pencil, pen and ink, wash, body-colour and gold, in a calf skin album","categories":[{"text":"Designs","id":"THES48968"},{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"PDP","id":"THES48595"},"images":["2012FF2463","2018KY6207"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"LVLE","id":"THES49657"},"free":"","case":"SB5","shelf":"SH3","box":"99.A.2"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"drawing","id":""}],[{"text":"design","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"probably.
