Dipinto of an ivy leaf, located on the northern face of Pier A71, looking into the Basilica’s northern corridor. The leaf points upward, is heart shaped, and overall symmetrical. The petiole is quite short and curves toward the right. The portion of it emerging from the leaf is made in a thin line, while at the bottom it is thicker and made in multiple lines terminating in a triangular pulvinus. The base of the leaf is decorated with a tripartite motif meant to recall the intricate veins usually present on the plant’s leaves.
