I also agree that it is both towers and vessels. The two of them together indicate wealth and culture.
I think it is also similar to the barrels or pithoi in the zodiac section, which i believe to represent the ages of humanity, wherein it has only been in the recent ages that towers and vessels have existed.
The fact that there are six towers, and that they are different but similar, could jive with the idea of combining various cultures into vessels of human history.
This central rosette seems analogous with maps that have Jerusalem at their center, but it is not just Jerusalem, it is also Cairo, Baghdad, etc., various centers of religion and or culture. There are links to all quadrants of the world, mixing past present and future, showing that many traditions are shared or expressed in similar ways in various cultures. Roman gods are Greek gods are Egyptian gods... The wavy lines show it to be ethereal, an ideal, a heaven, an idea. A compendium of all knowledge of all the world, through all time.
Towers may fall and vessels may empty but the knowledge of their existence must be preserved, for then they can be again as they were, or at least known to have been, and can then be built upon.
