Image talk:Bach Seal (wide).jpg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The two mirror-image components are not laid top and bottom as the word "superimposed" suggests but are, rather, woven together, under-over alternation being fairly consistently observed EXCEPT where the tail of the mirrored "J" crosses the outside curve of the upper bout of the mirrored "B". If the mirrored "J"'s tail were consistent it would be ABOVE the mirrored "B"'s upper bout's outside curve, but it is beneath it, failing to invert the arrangement on the mirror-image side (as all other over-under arrangements are inverted on opposite mirrored sides), and causing the mirrored "B" to have two consecutive "overs". This aberrancy seems to exist in photos of the original wax impressions made by the seal. 64.131.188.104 09:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)Christopher Lawrence Simpson
