When I was still a little voynichero, my 'theory' for this folio is that it represented a diagram for making brandy. Brandy is made by distilling an already fermented drink, like whine.
So I took the things on top to be berries, from which the juice flows through a series of filters. The juice then stays in a closed barrel, which is represented by the nymphs ducking to stay inside the outline. Finally, the wine is distilled into another vessel.
It's was a prolematic theory, because the process of making brandy is too recent an invention. Also, I don't think those things represent berries anymore
I'm not sure what they are, but they do seem to be the origin of the water flow. That's something to take into account.
