The St-Michael's labyrinth:
"extracted" from the Reims labyrinth.

The Reims labyrinth in its "script" version.
 
 
   
Reims, first "track"
(three first lanes),

related to greek traditional
decorative motif
called maeander, used here
as a page border motif:

Reims, second "track"
(lanes 4 to 8).

Lateral inversion (mirror image)
results in a clockwise run,
and becomes the model
for the St-Michael's labyrinth:

Reims, third "track"
(lanes 9 to 11),
inverted repetition of first "track".
