In the first few pages of the VMs Zodiac, some interesting heraldic interpretations show up. My investigations of medieval heraldry reveal a group of images interconnected by historical events and the origins of an ecclesiastical tradition. The VMs illustration of White Aries is a discretely subtle representation of a unique event in church history that can be dated to 1251 CE. Since VMs Carbon-14 dates average 1404-1438, the author was clearly a historian.
Heraldry is an unexpected language. It imparts a great deal of information to anyone who can read it. And the pairing and positioning of the papelonny patterns in the VMs Zodiac is a clear indication that the artist was freely capable to create his/her own unique canting (pun) in the heraldic tradition as would have been current at the time of VMs composition. The presence of the pun, unrecognized in the zodiac illustrations, reveals in part that the author's range of knowledge in heraldry has not been understood by modern investigations.
Re: the Ikea image
Definitely an example of a well-balanced nebuly line, but with a modern twist.
With sheets like that - - it's like sleeping on a cloud.
