<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Heliodromus, post: 7922220, member: 120820&quot;]I hadn&#039;t noticed the curved right depiction of your central Moneta&#039;s cornucopia.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got to wonder if your central Moneta might be standing facing, rather than left, despite what appears to be a left facing profile to her face.</p><p><br /></p><p>The association of curved right cornucopia and facing Moneta makes sense when you consider the 3-D spiral shape of the cornucpoia projected onto these 2-D depictions. It seems with a facing Moneta (e.g. Berlin coin in your linked thread) her cornucpoia may (in 3-D) be curving forwards towards the viewer as well as to the right. If she were to continue holding it the same way but twist or turn left, then the forwards bend would now be towards the left.</p><p><br /></p><p>I made a twist-wrap cornucopia to illustrate this. To the left is how it would appear curving out towards the viewer (as with standing facing Moneta), and to the right is the exact same spiral shape now seen in side profile. Can you tell I have too much time on my hands?! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1368678[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This perhaps reinforces the association between cornucopia position and pose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
