Similar use of parallel lines around items. Presence of castles, round diagrams, a temple with pillars apparently connected to an oversized candelabra from the top left corner. There is even a round diagram somewhere on there with similar elements to that of the left middle Rosette.

Again, it's not quite the same, and I wouldn't claim that the VM copied this scroll or depicts the exact same thing. But the visual vocabulary is remarkable.
