VMs f75r - Nymph Holding Spurtle

[Koen G]

these “spikes” seem to be piercing a log, possible reference to the crucifixion.

One thing that's always fascinated me is the male figure right underneath the one holding the spike. The Voynich artist  - struggling with poses as they were - went out of their way here to make this figure's hand/wrist overlap in front of the body. Nude male, legs obscured, hands crossed at the wrist, spike nearby... that's one of the most common poses for the Man of Sorrows.
