My design name for this group applies to weights where the outer garland includes twist canes laid horizontally in relation to the outer edge. An alternative description could have been "Circumferential Twists", but that sounded rather cumbersome!

The weight at Row 1, Col 1 has an unusually high dome - 64 mm. The Super Magnum at Row 2, Col 1 is a very good example of the inner mixed twists and canes design. I have seen smaller versions that are also well formed, but I have also seen two very large examples (115 mm & 128 mm) which are not so attractive.
