High Loop Handles, Chalice Nodes and the Nautilus

High loop handles. The handles in image B and C are supposedly (IMO) about side flow connections, and sometimes they go too high and then curve downward again to the edge of the 'cup', which marks the horizontal plane of a portal torus. Why did it go too high?

Image A is a little unrelated, it doesn't have any side loop handles. The little sphere in the middle is called the 'node' of a chalice, and image D has one too. I'm using the match of A and D to equate the chalice and the nautilus art.

Below that node is the upper outflow of a torus, then the node acts like a little torus along the path, then the upper cup is the destination, it's the lower half of an upper torus. It's upper half above the cup is missing, presumably in another reality.

The Nautilus shells, obviously have some symbolism meaning because wealthy elites were willing to pay. For us at first glance, it's bizarre art.

I was searching for high loop handles and came upon these Nautilus by accident. I noticed they have a cup-like open part, and most of them put classic barrier symbols at the cup edge.

Each nautilus also has bands of metal going up the sides, and I think these are the side flows outside the torus. Image G and H show that from the lower torus, the arms are connecting up to metal bands or folliage that goes up to the cup rim.

One side flow goes into the part of the shell that curls higher than the edge of the cup, which is similar to the high loop handles. The other side flow always has a simple outflow symbol.

Then my hypothesis turns into thinking that the high curl of the snail shell is on the bidirectional side flow. You may need to zoom in to see, image D and E have tongues pointing up, and folliage going down into the edge of the cup.

So my hypothesis relates to choosing side portals. Image I shows shells at the typical 8 portal positions, and image J shows diagonal flows, upward spear and downward mace-like sponge-stick. The sponge stick is the bidirectional/downward flow symbol.

I think this symbolism is about the bidirectional side flow symbols on those nautilus, wanting to be from higher position than the upward outflow side. Just a hypothesis. The bidirectional side seems more divine. It's the side more often marked with an X or XC ( and Christos / annointing is a downward flow ).

Returning to image B, those handles each have 2 portal symbols, (like stars or flowers) and it seems like the side flows want involve the higher portals.

Summary, I'll keep looking for high loop handles evidence, but these nautilus were stimulating, if nothing else. My previous post had some snakes making high loops at the edges of cups, and I may need to start giving those snakes some bidirectional potential.
