VMs (f80v) critter identified

[-JKP-]

I was particularly interested in some of the "marriage" scenes with the lamb because the nymph directly below the VMS mystery critter looks like she's holding a ring (does "below" mean more earthly, or less holy, or does it mean a different point in time as in narrative panels??).

I've only been able to find a few. In one of them the lamb is in the bride's lap, but that seems less common than the lamb being nearby the marriage festivities or sitting in the groom's position (or seated or standing on an altar).


I have read that even though Revelation is New Testament, that the marriage of the lamb is supposedly patterned after Jewish traditions. I don't know enough Bible history detail to completely confirm this. Sharing a cup of wine is a Jewish betrothal custom, as is the giving of gifts during the engagement and this is mentioned in the scripture, but mostly in metaphorical terms.
