Wait! In many Indian archaeological plates, "PLATE VIII" is at the top margin or bottom margin? Wait, look at the orientation of the numbers: When rotated 180 degrees: - `17.` is right side up. - `14.` is right side up. - `16.` is right side up. - All scales `0 1 2 3` are right side up: `0` on left, `1`, `2`, `3` on right! - `PLATE VIII` is right side up! - The carvings (animals, people) are right side up: in 14, the animals in the medallions have their feet at the bottom and heads at the top! In 16, the figures/animals are upright! Everything in the entire plate is right side up when rotated 180 degrees!
