Variant |
The area tends to form a complete circle and expand lke concentric circles. |
The area whirls out in the form of a spiral. |
The area tends to form a pressed circle. |
There’re two loops combined in the central area, and surrounded by many circles, which looks like a little Taichi surrounded by circles. |
It looks like the peacock’s eyes. A central pocket whorl consists of at least one recurving ridge, or an obstruction at right angles to the line of flow, with two deltas, between which when an imaginary line is drawn, no recurving ridge within the pattern area is cut or touched. |
Under this heading are the relatively small number of patterns too irregular in outline to be grouped with central pocket loops and double loops. |
