No text, but a visual code

In the Rosettes, that's a great comparison, esp. with the VMs far right. The two central examples have lost their thin stems, below the spheres, so they become more ambiguous in their potential interpretations. And, primarily, that would still include religious connotations.

The second example is still problematic. From what source could the VMs artist have drawn inspiration for such fantastic vessels? What do the colors represent? Are they made of metal or glass or are they just fantasies?
