It is much more similar to medieval drawings of winds or waters that are whooshing out of mouths or other kinds of openings.
The texture doesn't look like skins, either. Teepee skins are not scaly, nor are they layered in concentric rings.
And I've never seen a teepee with regularly spaced holes or circles, like a deliberate pattern.
Thanks JP. It's certainly helpful having a computer screen with good resolution! I'll concede that, instead of a tepee, it could be depicting a conduit holding the souls (represented by circles) of people who failed to achieve perfectus status and are currently in limbo awaiting rebirth (reincarnation) in the material world. This contrasts with the perfecti (represented by stars on the rosettes page) who have achieved eternal life in the spiritual world thereby escaping the cycle of rebirths.
I've had a Made-in-the-Americas theory for the VMS long before I ever noticed the tepee and I still maintain that theory. The marginalia links to external works that establish a strong connection with the Americas including implications that the VMS employs native American languages to a considerable extent.
Indeed, it seems the decoders of the VMS prophecies arranged for a linguist by the name of Thomas Harriot to be sent to the Americas for the specific purpose of creating a phonetic alphabet of native American languages. This could imply the possible reuse of the glyphs to represent native American words or sounds and in all likelihood those decoders were never able to decipher or read the botanical and other sections of the VMS.
My advice to contemporary cryptographers is to concentrate on the stars section of the VMS as it may be the only section representing (in this case also encoding) Old World languages. Imagine a Christian missionary carrying a Latin Bible with him when he goes into the jungle to make converts. The same logic applies here. The stars section contains the sacred text of their religion.
