My best discription of this is a collapsed beach ball. The used side of this little gem is in the shape of a dome. The perfict shape to represent the heavens above. If you try to view this as a dome the East,West relationship will be represented as if in a mirror. so feel free to use it any way you feel just under stand how to compensate.
