Star Lore (Virgo) article - typing mistake?

Deborah, this article of yours has a contradiction. The table states that Spica is located in the ear of corn in the maiden's left hand, while in your first paragraph you stated that:
The zodiac figure is generally depicted as a winged maiden holding a palm branch in her left hand and an ear of corn in her right.
I checked another source for a picture, and it seems the maiden is holding the ear of corn in her left hand. So can I assume that the first paragraph is a typing error?

The appearance changes, but the essence remains.

Thanks for pointing that out; I've corrected the article so that the text in the table agrees with the description given in the first paragraph of the article.

This left-right hand description assumes we are looking up at the figure who is then looking back down at us from the heavens. I need to find time to check all those constellation articles as they are quite old and I wrote the initial text before realising that one source text can give a different account from that of another. The reason is some describe the figure as if we are looking up at it from the Earth; others change the directions because they describe the figure as presented on globes (such as the Farnese Globe, see below), where the constellations are depicted from a God's eye view; hence the left-right descriptions are reversed, and if text is collated from various sources these sorts of inconsistencies can occur.
