Minutes later, randomly clicking another blogroll link took me to the synchromystic blog Groupname for Grapejuice, which features this image in the sidebar, taken from an English translation of a 1708 book by Roger de Piles:
The lower image shows what looks like about sixteen small stones -- fifteen, to be precise, and I guess they're actually meant to be grapes. The original figures by de Piles also include an image of a single sphere, so a total of sixteen individual (ungrouped) "small stones."
Juice and stones were recently juxtaposed in William Wright's September 9 post "Ancient Juice as something that will be brought with the Sawtooth Stone."
