So then I was thinking last night... imagine someone young, raised on Catholic tradition, which was heavily saturated with Arma Christi imagery in the 14th and 15th centuries, especially since they were talismanic and carried with people. Now, as you grow up, you learn about plants, maybe Dad is a gardener or an apothecary or doctor. I was in my yard today and I pulled out a sonchus leaf that looked exactly like a dagger and hilt and because we have been talking about Arma Christi imagery, it immediately came to mind as a parallel.
Perhaps the person who did the drawings (or at least conceived the drawings) was raised in a way something like that.
