[split] Scepter/ Fleur de Lys/ Blue Sweater Man

[Searcher]

David, I was wondering what the figure with the "scepter" would look like without the paint but it's difficult to remove it without losing what's underneath:



I can't tell for certain if it's text, and it almost looks like there's a cross with a hook to the left of it (also not for sure). There might even be text across the midriff, but... it's very hard to tell. The marks on the arms look more like circles, fabric patterns.

JKP, thank you very much!
I just was going to start the theme about hidden texts in the VMs, as my site doesn't work. I open this thread and see your find. Great! The notes in your image look like "ar", as for me. Of course, I always check that anyone shows. I took new large scans. So, I made my edition. Without doubt, there are some notes on the chest and on the right hand of the man with the "fleur". It is not impossible, as these notes are similar in size to the text under the figure. 

Chest: a cross-swastica (not usual) and something like "ЗС " or "[i]ЗЕ "[/i]
[i]           [/i]
Hand: actoз or nitoз, or victoз, or pictoз (actor, nitor, victor, pictor)???
I see no other notes, only these.
Actually, I'm not surprised as the both symbols are present on the other pages, including the Rosettes page. Maybe, exactly this word (...ctor) is on the first page (f1r) in the top right corner, but I'm not sure.
