The Winged Disc: Six Comparative Designs
Six numbered designs range from a wide Egyptian winged disc to more compact combinations of wings, globes and linked ornament. The printed heading identifies Plate II, The Winged Disc. Mackenzie brings the examples together for comparison within Migration of Symbols. The page preserves their differences instead of presenting them as impressions of one object.
