Figure 1. (Below) The most definitive feature of this position is the impressive "CURL" above the "E" of CENT. An identical curl is found on the preceding entry on the plate, 65R5. Note that faint traces of this curl persisted on the next dozen or so "C" relief plate entries and shows on at least 65R-24R-64R-23R-63R-22R-62R-21R-61R-30L-70L-29L.

Figure 2. (Below) Small but distinct vertical dashes of color to the left of Ornament H/K. These marks have been confirmed as constant.
