superimposed
Placed one over
Superimposed means placed or layered on top of something else.
Images can be superimposed on one another, creating a composite: The documentary superimposed modern footage over historical photographs.
Maps superimpose data onto geographical features.
The word often suggests that what's layered on top doesn't quite belong or fit naturally: a Western legal system superimposed on traditional customs.
