I'm really not sure if these labels had the function of indicating the orientation of this detail. One might also wonder then why the T-O diagram is not placed as intended in relation to the rosette itself.
Quote:Yes. It is really a good example. I only don't understand, why only sixth seal is here. Maybe, you will reveal the rest in your further posts. For now, I don't see the same sequence of events of the Revelation in the Rosettes diagram.
For the spiral, I think a good case can be made that it would have been seen as a scroll being rolled up, as in the text of Revelation. They were familiar with this concept, for example on banderoles (scrolls as speech bubbles). We included some examples in the post.

Because of his affection and devotion to the cross of Christ, St. Francis used this sign as his personal signature.Yes, this is a good example of the sign's popularity. And as you say it is still to this day an important symbol for Franciscans. A recent You are not allowed to view links.

It explains that the TAU reminds Franciscans of St. Francis' saying: "Let us begin again".

Although we think that references to the sixth seal in the top right rosette are only a piece of a larger puzzle, that larger puzzle may reference certain aspects of Revelation without including its entire sequence of events.
