Which statement accurately describes the arrangement if the right-hand scroll is S?

• A. The left-hand scroll is the C Scroll
• B. The left-hand scroll is the S Scroll
• C. The left-hand scroll is the C Scroll and the right-hand scroll is S
• D. The left-hand scroll is the S Scroll and the right-hand scroll is C

Answer: (C)

Symmetry in classical ornament relies on pairing opposite scroll forms—the C-scroll and the S-scroll are mirror images that balance each other when placed on opposite sides. If the right-hand scroll is S, the left-hand must be C to create a complementary, balanced pair. This arrangement describes the left-hand scroll as C Scroll and the right-hand scroll as S. It preserves the intended symmetry; having both sides as S would duplicate the same motif and disrupt balance, and placing C on the right would contradict the given condition that the right-hand scroll is S.
