Women’s Anatomy

Adding one more bath pic, due to the nature of the barrel, however, the caption says couple.

And buckets and a tent and a finial, too!

Again these balnealogical items seem to be part of the manuscript at the same time time as the biological, so either it is meant to do double (or triple, or quadruple, etc.) duty in terms of what is being referred to, or it is a coincidence, and things are just drawn vaguely enough that they look like other things, or it is an obfuscation, i.e. purposefully looking like other things that are not meant. Or a combo, where things are purposefully drawn so as to morph from one of these meanings to the other, maybe just subliminally. 

From the perspective of my own theory there is obfuscation, although it seems more than coincidental that there are several hot springs and suphur springs shown, and that the page order shows Ellie's body parts in order from foot to head. It kind of makes sense, if the quire is about water, not only does it flow around the world, but around our bodies, both on the ouside during bathing, and on the inside to keep our bodies hydrated and to transport nourishment and waste to their respective destinations. It could be like a micro macro mega view of the same topic at the same time.
