One corner of a gold-on-black border for a mural, with urns and pineapples.

Marble floor from Olympia, (Poppe Sammlung von Ornamentun u. Fragmenten antiker Architektur, Skulptur, Mosaik and Toreutik).

The full bibliographic reference is, “Poppe, C. Sammlung von Ornamenten u. Fragmenten antiker Architektur, Sculptur, Mosaik u. Toreutik auf einer Reise durch Griechenland, Italien u. Sicilien aufgenommen., 4. Hft. Berlin, Reimer, 1845, 5 Tff. u. 1 B. Text. Fol. 2 Thlr” which (in short) is, Collection of Ornaments and Fragments of Ancient Architecture, Sculpture, Mosaic and Metalwork.

I extrapolated and made a full-page border from this image.
