About this comparison

Image-assisted line reconstruction; not exact geometry

Limited source detail: this is a best-effort reconstruction from a small or degraded cited reference image. The source is low resolution. The small lower-right cluster is deliberately unresolved, and fine script/wear details are approximate; readable text, flourish, placement, and cluster count are preserved.

Visual rights remain unresolved.
