Obviously it doesn't fit with the tapestry placings, but I'm quite ready
to write that off as a flint. Particularly since a visualization of said
tapestry is really quite impossible. It must move around and resolve
itself under the viewer's eye to what they're looking for, otherwise how
on earth can it fit all that info? It reminds me actually of the Shield
of Aeneas in the Aeneid, which apparently has the equivalent of a whole
graphic novel inscribed on its front. 

I'll have to reread exactly what Dumbledore sells about Bella to see if
there's weasel room left there.
