I would normally say, wrong side out but here I am wondering if "in reverse" or, "in relief" might be better?
From a work on architectural monuments of Byzantium.
В расположенном восточнее мавзолее султана Сулеймана (Sultan Süleyman Türbesi) две плиты на потолке при входе (10) представляют собой повернутые изнанкой тексты религиозных декретов Мануила Комнина, слепки с которых мы видели в Св. Софии.

turned upside down
IMHO, what's meant is that these slabs, containing the said texts, were turned upside down because — well — Christian texts are not meant to be shown in a Muslim sanctuary, are they?

Reverse images?
Because - imprinted into the walls? If so, then a phrase like that plus an explanatory phrase.
Are you sure about the actual meaning of the phrase?

: No, this is wrong. The slabs were just turned upside down, it's further in the text.
