Dragons, Dogs & Amadillos?

Another parallel for this animal's pose is found in certain depictions of the Agnus Dei on the book of Revelations.

So far I have only found this specific motif in sculpture, but it is good to keep in mind for those who argue that the animal's round back in this pose and lack of horns is incompatible with an ovine creature.

St Vincent Abbey, Senlis, France, 13th C:


Undated sculpture, Saint Bernard d'Olt, Espalion, France:


14th C, Chiesa Madre, Erice, Sicily:


Another undated one, from the tabernacle of Bailly church (13th-15th-17thC construction), Noisy, France:



Yeah, I know, it's a book, not a nebuly thing, but the pose is a pretty good match, and the way the seven seals hang down is also an interesting parallel for the vertical lines of "rain" below the Voynich creature's "cloud/pillow".

Also, notice that the last one is surrounded by clouds. Apparently this is to show that the scene is part of a vision.
