VMs (f80v) critter identified

[Linda]

I kind of like it, although i retain my own interpretation. You have said most of this before, i think what is newly said is that Philip the Good had this particular book in his library. Although it is an interesting coincidence, it doesn't prove anything.

However i often come across imagery in the vms that seems to do double or triple duty and this could be one of those.

The apocalyptic nature falls in line with my interpretation. the blood could alternatively denote waters turned red, or they could be dripping molten rock. The Christianity connection could denote political issues along with the religious. There is also the marriage of the lamb connection with the juxtaposition of rings in connection with the related imagery you have mentioned, the vesica piscus doesnt seem to be there but i think they might have snuck it onto You are not allowed to view links.

Also, the golden fleece conjures up its own backstory, both as myth and actual usage to mine gold in mountain streams. 
The reference to the Order itself might bring in the regions from Flanders to Switzerland. 

However, i see some problems. For instance the Order of the Golden Fleece icon looks like, a) a feece, which is to say that it looks dead, devoid of body, a skin only; and b) a sheep, curly horns and a long fat tail that hangs straight down. 

The vms body seems to be the main thing to have been drawn, and it does not really call to mind a fleece. Both goats and sheep can have different horns, but goats  generally have short tails they hold upwards, or out, in the case of the vms animal. It looks more like a goat than a sheep, i think. That is why my preferential identification is Capra ibex, an animal that lives only in the range of the Alps, which is ultimately what is portrayed, in my interpretation. But, it is drawn ambiguously, and therefore i could see this alternative lamb possibility. 

Agnus dei also has a particular stance. The vms stance is not it.
