What a lozenge is in heraldry is a diamond or a rhomb in geometry.
This crest is on top of a large vat in the Heidelberg castle – although not THE large vat in the castle but big enough (more than 5m tall, judging by the people at the bottom). I wanted to show the whole crest but unfortunately I couldn’t get the light bulbs from a chandelier to the right out of the picture without comprimising the square (even in a rectangle, not if I wanted to show the whole crest). That’s where the formula for the parallelogram came in.

You are allowed to add the whole subject as a rectangle as long as the main photo is square. Becky said

That’s okay but I needed that rectangle within the square to block out the light … it didn’t work any other way, not really.

Not what I expected from your title – very clever as are your continuing geometric shape explanations.
This is a lovely square
