A child with quite developed motor skills, by the way, - because there's also a T-O map there, beside the "scribble".
The T-O map isn't beside the scribble, it's on top of it (or under it, but it looks like it's on top) and there's Voynich text next to it also.
It shows all the characteristics of a child's scribble, the wiggles in the lines, the pen not quite going the right direction, the hesitation, the unevenness of the pressure, the way it scrawls in a wavy line instead of in relatively straight lines, the way the forms are bigger (children have difficulty writing small letters). I've seen plenty of child's scribbles and this is what they look like. It even looks like it's a slightly darker ink than the T-O map and the VMS text (which is slightly more golden-brown).
