A little more about the order of the Golden Fleece:
The Order was founded during a wedding (Philip III of Burgundy and Isabelle of Portugal), this might tie in with the ring-bearing nymph below the postulated "dead ram".
And, a few months after the creation of the order, a French poet (Michault Taillevent) wrote the "Dream of the Golden Fleece" (Le Songe de la Toison d'Or), where he describes in detail his oneiric vision of the knights and insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, to which he is led by a fair maiden (!) whose name is "Bonne Renommée" (Good Reputation) and her cohort of virtuous ladies named after other chivalrous qualities.
This might tie in with the nymph below as well, and account for the fleece's placement on a nebuly line, if it is seen in a dream...
