Well of Moses

[R. Sale]

Need something hexagonal to subtly fill in under that starry canopy in your central VMs Rosette?

You've tried thrones and fountains and pulpits, and they just don't seem right.

Try Well of Moses! Clearly hexagonal and the provenance is delicious. Goes great with mythical Melusine, the Golden Fleece, and La Sainte Hostie de Dijon.

I still find this one fairly amusing. This is practically like the perfect, invisible cloud-bunny. Here is a cloud-bunny that can't be seen at all. There's nothing to be seen, only the somewhat obscured indications that something here might be hexagonal in shape. It might be a throne or whatever. It almost seems ridiculous. How can something be identified, if it can't be seen?

It's like fitting piece into a jigsaw puzzle - a piece with knobs on all four sides. First, the Well of Moses is hexagonal. Second, it is VMs C-14 contemporary as of 1405. Third, it has a Burgundian connection to the Golden Fleece. Fourth, it connects to Dijon and with La Sainte Hostie de Dijon.

The piece fits. It fits without any reference to its visual presentation. It fits because of its 'nature' and its 'structure' not because of its appearance. And as such it is yet another, albeit rather subtle, addition to the growing set of disguised religious indications in the VMs illustrations.

What's a "cloud-bunny"?

You don't know about the cloud-bunny, David? It's on f62v.

Cloud-bunny - either involuntary or creative pareidolia.

Goddammit I can't be expected to know everything  
Thanks for the clarification.

So here is the question. Do four valid points of circumstantial evidence serve to identify something that cannot be seen?

First, it is hexagonal. Second, it is VMs C-14 contemporary as of 1405. Third, it has a Burgundian connection to the Golden Fleece. Among other Burgundian connections. And fourth, it connects to Dijon and with La Sainte Hostie de Dijon. Pairied and validated, historical connections to Dijon, capital of the Burgundian state through the C-14 dates. It's common history that ties them together.

Is it enough?
