Ellie: in my first post I show classical statues, exactly because they use idealised proportions that are different than those of the voynich nymphs. If I wanted to argue that the nymphs are Greek or Egyptian by that, I'd surely be shooting myself in the foot.
Like I said in my second post, an actual comparison with other art forms will be reserved for the last post in the series.
I'm not an expert on head sizes in other cultures, maybe Diane can say something about that of she reads this thread.
All I had in mind was to gather some data on the proportions of the nymphs and their consistency. The four part division and the differently proportioned men were a surprise to me and I don't know what that means.
