Hello David,
w.r.t. the sheep in Sloane 4016, they are there for their own right. The books shows herbs and animals, and this is "Aries" with the herb being "Aristologia rotonda". The book is organised alphabetically.
Aristologia rotonda is illustrated with an accompanying "cirtter" in all herbals I am aware of.
Some look more like a dragon, others more like a lizard. The plant is copied quite faithfully from book to book, but the animal varies a lot.
