zoomorphic and anthropomorphic roots

Thanks, Marco, I'm always interested in this kind of information.

The hand-root in your picture has a similar positioning as You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. But the Voynich plant is a leek or onion-like vegetable, and the hand is drawn in a different style.

The one with the many "cartoonish" faces has a similar Voynich version You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. But again, a different plant. (You probably don't care, but this is on the other foldout I consider "mythological". Note how the leaf in the Voynich plant is drawn like a sword, and also the plants next to it look "weaponized".)

Interestingly, the plant with the very human head knows no parallel in the VM. The Voynich artist avoids the realistic depiction of human heads.
