Dragons, Dogs & Amadillos?

I also believe that the illustrations on the entire page should be analyzed before making a judgment. I don't think any animals are depicted, and I agree that the wavy lines are a symbol of the boundary of the cosmos, which is quite certain because we see it in countless medieval manuscripts.

I'm just curious -- do those depictions of the boundary of the cosmos also have threads or frills hanging off of the wavy corrugations? And squared corners like a pillow does?

I agree is probably just a coincidence that the animal appears to be sleeping (as on a pillow) or, if dead, be being honored (as on a pillow).
