Obviously, the three Wise Men, apart from gold, carried incense or myrrh, the same substances that the Queen of Sheba could have offered Solomon, given the wealth of her country in these precious essences.
Everything makes sense if we consider that the Rosettes page is a representation of the medieval cosmos and that the central circle corresponds to the fixed stars. The vessels are here because it is the stars that produce these essences. We see similar vessels in the so-called pharmaceutical section of the Voynich Manuscript, alongside roots and leaves. This symbolism corresponds to the Rosettes page and conveys the same meaning as the entire codex: the power of the stars. Pure medieval thought.
