Am I mis-reading the trend of this thread, or have we leapt from wondering what sort of creature might be intended, to one suggestion of its being a sheep... - to presuming that the maker intended to draw a sheep, re-defining the probable date for first composition of the image... and from that to trying to rope it in to a theoretical 'history' for the manuscript relating to Germany?
You are mis-reading this thread.
There have been several suggestions and each has been given consideration in the thread. Chronologically, the latest discussion of the Golden Fleece Order links to France and Belgium, not Germany. This is not a "trend" either, but merely the latest of many options discussed.

This thread is full of such suggestions, from various posters. I really suggest you re-read this thread.
If you would like to add your own, please do so, if possible with pictures or links as others have done here.
