Early 18th Century Working Man's Bag

[Capt. Jas.]

James,

I keep looking at the Flap design on the Bobcat pouch in your Avatar.

I've been calling that Flap design a "Double Cyma Curve" on each side for decades, but I can't remember what you said the correct term for it is.

YES, I like that flap design a whole lot, myself !!

Gus,
I'm no artist or architect so I really don't know for sure. On the cat bag I would call it more an undulating edge since the s curves never meet or end at a point like the terrible drawing below. If it came to a point I would guess a mirrored or double cyma curve? I think it would be recta and not reversa but its been a while.

My above comment on the bag in this thread refers to the bottom of the bag which after looking at the pictures resembles to me a shapley human "bottom".
"Bird" = British slang ; )

LOL!! OK, been to England twice and it still went WAY over my head the first time.

Thanks,
