Okay, very positive stuff!
I try to keep my posting here as short as possible. Otherwise it becomes quickly difficult to read,
but also diffucult to follow all the replies and remember the previous posts on thath subject and who wrote what.
The main reason to put it in a Blog is of course that you have the info at your own disposal and can add or edit whenever you want it.
I see this forum more as an expert-pool or a tool for reflection, then as a way publish all my findings.
It is more for questions, discussions, relevant findings or significant replies to another man's thread's that i see added value.
Back to the subject, i think it is strange there are different angles on the "ladies with the rings".
This is a very distinct detail with an almost exact match of two items in the VMS, found on 1 page in another vms from 1410.
I hoped other people would browse through the Harley and would make the remark that there are more "hits" than these two, because there are, and
what are the odds?
If such a distinct detail as a ring provides so many angles, and we can not come to an understanding to what it represents,
i think it will be impossible to expect that we can find common ground on other pictures with much more different details and colours such as the herbal pages.
And if that is the general conclusion, it would be better to focus on that problem, because we could really make progress if there is a concensus.
