Ears seem (deliberately?) missing from the human heads painted in the cipher manuscript.
Perhaps the artist was deaf from birth to ignore such an essential part of the human anatomy.
Although wearing a coif to cover the ears and the hair was still a common practice at the beginning of the 15th century, there are no coif depictions in the manuscript.
