[split] The Golden Fleece and the two VM creatures

[Linda]

Certainly there are a host of Agnus Dei images. That is why the image needs to fit the specified structural criteria: LAMB / COSMIC BOUNDARY / BLOOD (Droplets).  The boundary is between the lamb and the blood.  The boundary has a cloud based derivation.

That is the structure of BNF Fr. 13096. That is the apparent structure of VMs f80v. That is the structure of.......?

it is not blood though. Only the moon became as blood, no droplets mentioned. What was dropping were the stars from the heavens. A comparison of other sixth seal diagrams and the text itself shows it to be fiery or sooty starstuff in these droplets. Or are you saying they were going by a newer tradition of people misunderstanding the symbology, because i could see that happening, but i don't think it is what you mean.

I am still hoping Aga will answer about the green part being important because i think that is the case too, maybe for different reasons though. 

But your case relies on structure and traditions so i think it weakens your stance to hold to the droplets being blood, since that is not the tradition behind that image. I can think of blood in Agnus dei depictions like Mystic Lamb, but this is not that, this is the lamb of the sixth seal, still an analogy for Christ/God, but at endtimes. If you change it to droplets of fire, you will be all good. I don't think the vms counterpart looks like fire any more than it looks blood, but it could rain fire if a meteor exploded overhead, so if the text said the stars fell from the heavens, rain would be a perfectly acceptable illustration. Wiki says one interpretation is 'massive meteor showers (“the stars… fell”). '
