There's more to this particular room in the NW mansion than meets the eye. Note how in the first pic the "stag pillars" are looking down the hall where Dipper & Pacifica just came from. In the next, they are gazing at the "Silver Mirror" Room as is the Skeleton (in-the-closet) King, which gives a clue that it is an important room. The Silver Mirror Room is also the NW mansion's most "feminine" room. The decor is pink & silver, & even the green threshold rug in the second pic has similar coloring to Mrs. Northwest's "seafoam" dress. How girly can you get?

Pretty girly, as it turns out, as the floor patterns are made of ancient goddess symbols. The floor pattern  found throug hout the mansion is made of a Female Trinity comprised of the Egyptian Ankh (Life), the Venus star sign & the "woman's power" symbol. The silver rug that Pacifica herself states is her "parent's favorite carpet pattern" is none other than the  ancient birth goddess which goes  back to neolith ic times (10,000-2,000 BCE).

Which leaves us wondering why they are there & what does their presence in the Northwest Mansion mean? They've been pointed out several times in the storyline. Even the chairs in the opening scene have the Ankh/Woman's Symbol on them, so their importance to the Northwest story is set up early.

Because of this deep symbology, Northwest Mansion Mystery is perhaps Gravity Falls most multilayered episode yet. What do you think?
