A laterally inverted image is the one you get from a ordinary mirror as I understands it?
And the reflection you study when stretching out your right hand will, if imagining that a real person stood there instead, be that persons left hand.
Reading you again you could mean that this image being is reflected two times inside that horn.
Which makes me wonder where that first image being reflected a second time will be, and why it seems not to be noticed by David Falterman, or is it noticeable DF?
It reminds me of that French(?) art form where they made paintings on vases and such, that you only would see correctly when observing them 'indirectly' from an mirror.
