I recognized the direction shown on A and B and then went to look at my collection.

Most of them are showing downward inflow symbols like: Image C has the horse necks doing a loop-back pose.

Image D has a curved beak bird, a bidirectional symbol.

Image E has a long neck bird doing a loop-back pose.

Image F has a loop-back.

Image G has a lion looking back with a big tongue.

Image H has a loop-back that goes outside the barrier then comes back in.

Prior to this year when I learned the meaning of these loop-backs and looking-back poses, I simply thought these were just outflow animals, but now I have gone opposite, these are etheric inflow along the horizontal plane, going toward the core.

They are in the category of downward/bidirectional flow symbols and the curved parts are equivalent to portal symbols like Luna and many others.

Here is my collection to see many more examples: https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/stringed-instrument/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/looking-back/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/loop-back/
