PLATING NOTES:

The plating marks illustrated in the Ashbrook/Neinken plating diagrams are not useful for plating a single of this position. The indication of a short right plume is similar to other A relief positions. The plating mark between the left scroll and left plume does not reveal itself on other patients in the archive.

Figure 1. (Below) The plating mat indicates a dot plating mark to the right of Ornament A. This mark is the remains of the curved line of the ornament.
