On the VMs side of this comparison, there are a number of examples to consider - all concentrated in Quire 13. There are numerous depictions of apparent liquid flowing into and out of pools, which contain a varying number of 'nymphs'.

The example of VMs You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. best represents the artistic technique that I was seeking - the use of a group of nearly parallel, long, sinewy lines. But you know the VMs is not consistent. Take a look at VMs f75v. The river is filled with little crosswise waves. It flows to a pool with ten 'nymphs'. The pool is surrounded by a nebuly line. Is this line also to be interpreted as a cosmic boundary? If it is valid for one then it is reasonably valid for both within the interpretations of historical tradition.

Another good example is f81r. Also f78v; f79r; f80r; f81v; You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. a trio of pools.
