Two Paragraph Starters in Folio 1r

[Dobri]

A more plausible interpretation of the first red embellishment is that it could possibly depict a planted seed with two cotyledons (also called dicotyledons, or dicots).

Cotyledons (seed leaves) are the first leaves to emerge from a seed during germination.

Then the second red embellishment could possibly depict the preparation of the grown harvested plant for medicinal purposes.
