[Blog Post] Rings of the Nymphs

[Hermes777]

What about the nymph with a ring in the upper left of f79v?

That would be a case in point. By my argument the lower page shows nymphs as shape-shifters and alludes to various stories on that theme in Dolomite legends and myths. 

The nymph laying down with rainwater splashing in her face, holding the oversized ring - I can't see how it can be construed as marriage symbolism in any way. Rather, these seem like magic rings, and attributes of these nymphs. In context, there is an argument to be made they are the protective rings that feature in the story of the Rosengarten and the origins of the alpenglow. 

Or do you see something else in the nymph with a ring in the upper left of f79v?
