This is a drawing of an architectural detail. The drawing depicts an intricately carved frame or border of a structure. The upper and side edges of the frame are lined with a series of repeating circular designs.

The positioning suggests it is part of a doorway or another architectural opening within a structure. The title on the drawing indicates it is from the USS Hartford.
