Intriguing indeed!
Sam has got it - spot on. A dotted sine wave in a straight line and one adapted to a circle.
Koen's second example in Post #4 is then a three dot variation.
Interestingly as well, this illustration is from Paris. The closest matches to the nebuly representation of the cloud band in the Central Rosette come from Oresme and de Pizan, also published in Paris. I wouldn't say that this *proves* anything, but if we are looking for a confluence of factors, and I think we should be, then perhaps this is something to investigate further.
How widespread, chronologically and geographically, is this dotted sine wave pattern?
