Those umbrella/pinecone things

[MarcoP]

There's some nice tents in the mountains in the MS Marco linked elsewhere:

What I find interesting is that the "tents" appear to have a partially symbolical meaning, which would probably become clear when comparing the image to the source text.

Hello Koen,
I agree on the fact that those tents are interesting (also when compared with a few of the "rosettes", e.g. bottom center).

From what I understand, both references are to literal tents:

If we include the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., we have more or less close parallels for several details. Still it's very difficult to make sense of the whole. The tent+mountain/stream composition seems to me likely to represent something different from tents and possibly from mountains too.
