It's stars and grain, as commonly found (Rene), and also as seen in the Persian example. Stars for the constellation. Grain for the harvest season. Seeing the moon through the trees doesn't mean they are *connected*.
I also agree that Montova is probably a cross. It's a bit too pixilated.
Also check the thread in this subforum: Females on Moons. This connects to an earlier investigation by VViews which proposes that VMs Virgo is a combination of astrological and religious elements. As the potential for a combined illustration may seem improbable to some from a single example, it may be deemed more acceptable as this adds to a growing list.
The Madonna image attributed to 1420 Ghent is an interesting comparison to VMs Virgo. Doesn't color count as a common factor?
