I have tried to also focus on details that I don't have an explanation for or which I cannot think of an explanation that I find satisfactory, so on my annotated page I have even highlighted details that I can't come to an explanation for. Fortunately there aren't too many of these. But let's take for example the objects in the central rosette that identify with "ciboria" or others may refer to as "domes". Why are there 6 of them, 4 at the front and 2 at the back and why are they illustrated differently with the right most object looking most like a ciborium? There are so many things in the universe of possibilities with which the number 6 can be associated which makes identifying a correct interpretation very hard. I suppose there could be 6 merely as the author found it most convenient given the space available to draw only 6.
