This is a little bit different in the image you posted, since there seems to be a slight interaction between figure2-item-figure1.
I agree. And the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. image is different in other ways. For instance, the figure on the right has a wound in her (his?) breast, so she seems to have extracted from her own body the heart she holds. This heart certainly is not an "attribute" but an element in some kind of story. Voynich objects could also be elements in a story, but not clearly so.
What I am more interested in at this stage is seeing parallels for figures with stretched arm with similar features to those you noted in the VMS images. Maybe those parallels will give us a hint on the possible function of the objects.
