       I don't believe we know the original orientation of the skull as it 
was found in the 18th century, so whether it is upside down or not is open to 
question. It was resting on a flat plane anyway, I would guess. It's not a 
painting...and even many of those don't have an "upside down".

       For the sake of accuracy, the "child of light and innocence"'s name 
was actually Marion Morrison. DV
