Daily we generally get two high and two low tides, so the four points could simply be referring to that.
More importantly, what's going on with the faces?
Three pipes have four faces, one has three. This makes 15. I can't think of anything that's a 15 cycle, unless we're talking of half a lunar month.
One of the faces is wearing what I can only describe as a judenhat, a pointy hat that Jews wore. Pointy hats in medieval western Europe tend be either feminine (with a trailing scarf) or a distinguishing feature. Jews were often forced to wear them, especially in France and Catholic territories. So pointed hats of this nature tended to have a very specific meaning.

But no meaning to do with solar phases that I can think of!
The face in the green portion may also be wearing the same sort of hat, but I can't make it out. There are also a couple of faces with hairstyles.
Mind you, although the significance of the faces is important, I don't know how much importance to attribute to the actual imagery. These details will probably turn out to be some wild invention of the author whose significance is impossible to guess at without reading the text. No point drilling down into the details.
