Too bad that picture of the sheep wasn't known some years back. But isn't it still true that sheep graze and goats browse?
Back in the era of C-14 dates, would this animal have lived in an area with swallowtail merlons?
Anyway, that is Dark Aries, or Black Aries, - not White Aries.
My apologies, in referring to White Aries, I am referring to the entire page, not just the medallion. Though there is the fact that the apparent 'whiteness' of the central image is enhanced by the fact that this is the most fully painted page in the zodiac sequence. And it is not accidental, but an intentional way to also disguise the presence of things that *must* be painted. The iconic images of the red hats and blue stripes.
The inner ring of nymphs on VMs White Aries has a single figure associated with a red hat and a blue striped 'tub' pattern. This is the artistic interrogation of the potential 'reader' regarding the interpretation of heraldic. information. Blue stripes are potentially armorial heraldry. Red hats, and white hats are potentially ecclesiastical heraldry. The combination of red hats and blue stripes constitutes a verifiable historical situation tied to the Catholic religious tradition of the cardinal's red galero, as instituted by Pope Innocent IV, who was Sinibaldo Fieschi, and shows an act of historical nepotism.
The more natural, radial interpretation of the figures with the blue striped patterns does not yield useful heraldic information. However, the page-based, paired orientation not only makes a potential connection to history, it also shows a use of duplicity revealing intentional deception. The ambiguities and obfuscations of appearance serve as a disguise. Potential iconography can be verified by historical research and by an investigation of the internal details of internal, iconic structure.
If the cardinal has the red hat and the other figure represents the pope, these are the structural verifications.
According to proper hierarchical position, the pope is in a higher celestial sphere that the cardinal.
According to heraldic placement, both figures are in the most favored, heraldic upper right quadrant.
Having the representations of pope and cardinal, with their religious connections, the only zodiac creature, suitable for celestial sacrifice, since the time of the ancient Greeks, is White Aries.
Structure is not subject to interpretation. There are a host of potential alternative structures, but only one way to maintain these three structural validations.
In addition, on the two preceding pages, Pisces and Dark Aries, there is another confirmation based on heraldry and heraldic canting. In the outer ring of Pisces and the inner ring of Dark Aries, there is a pattern in about the 10 o'clock position. It is a scale-like pattern, that is an obscure heraldic tincture. These two patterns form a structure that corresponds in quadrant and in sphere with the two blue striped patterns on White Aries. The tincture pattern is called papelonny. The French word for 'pope' is 'pape'. This looks like heraldic canting and intentional construction. The historical popes were Innocent IV and Adrian V.
As you say, "You have to see it and understand it."
