next forepart the braiding forms first an Austrian knot and then a double eye; and on the third forepart there is a strong check and a faint one, and the buttons are arranged in threes, and then a space without any.
Another phase of this principle is Contrast, which may either be in form or colour, as for instance, squares and circles, black and white, and so on.
The third law is Symmetry, which, in this case, means the repetition of a design on opposite side in reverse; thus, on the braidings you will see they are exactly alike on both sides, only the right side is exactly the reverse of the other. The

human figure is symmetrical, the left side being a counterpart of the right, and this makes this style of ornamentation very appropriate.
