Also, there is a proper Batman there! I love this MS.
I have a *vague* recollection about seeing another double tail mermaid in another unrelated VMS, wait I just found my notes.

Is it really a woman with a fish tail?

That's a good one. Clearly, the exception proves the rule. It is a woman with a crown holding two fish. Likewise, the VMs must be examined with the same level of detail.
Mermaids are half fish - from the waist down. Not from the knees down - like the VMs. The VMs is not a mermaid, it is something else. She is the mythical Melusine in her less dragon-like, more mermaid-like, Luxembourgian representation. The various Valois rulers of the VMs C-14 era claimed her as an ancestor [Jean de Berry, Philip the Good].
