- not exactly same on both sides; for the two circles
instead of being in dentils are in rolls: and one instead
of the quartered lion has two plain roses of fig 5 pattern
Truncation How general the principle of truncating 4 foils and
of Cusps keeping trefoils sharp of course because the point of
a 4 foil is necessarily too sharp to be either strong or
agreeable
