It is clear that rainbows and cloud bands were both artistic techniques used to help designate various deities. The illustration from Bodmer 49 in Post #71 is a sort of hybrid. A cloud band pattern in a rainbow-shaped construction.
*However* it is not a nebuly line. It is a WAVY line. Nebuly is defined as having crests and troughs that are bulbous. Both wavy and nebuly line motifs are used in cloud bands along with many other patterns and techniques, some of which are representative of fire, rather than clouds. The fiery examples use lines that are indented or rayonny, and colors that are red, orange, yellow etc. (The Bedford master or Hildegard of Bingen)
There are two considerations related to the VMs. Why are the double rainbows of the VMs unoccupied? And how does the cloud band pattern of the Central Rosette have a scallop-shell pattern so similar to the example in Oresme's cosmic illustration (BNF Fr. 565)?
