Maybe there is a bead hidden beneath the
L string (in contrast to a bead possibly hidden beneath
the R string in the upper bowl).
The C string of the upper bowl could
maybe have 30 beads and the C string of the lower bowl
have 44 beads. And if we should count hidden beads I
guess we should consider to add also beads which may be
hidden behind the rims in front:
C string

19 |

42 (+ 2) |

However, my instinct told me not to count
hidden beads.
We should add the beads on the
outside to those on the inside and then compare with
the northern bowl:

I regard 49 beads on both the
C strings as an argument for having counted
right, especially as 26 is the declination
of Antares.
