I believe the artist was trying to convey depth with a path and a You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. nearby.
That is similar to my interpretation.
That's what I see, too. It's the side of the road or path. Clouds. It's not a creature. The Rosettes Page is not a map of a real place. It's symbolic. It's a diagram that represents different things but those things are connected. I've already said what I think those different things are so I won't repeat myself.
I think this is the challenge of this manuscript in both the words and pictures. It has a strange mirror property where anything anyone wants to apply to it can be true...
For me, it's obvious that the central rosette is a view of San Marco (and I know I'm not the first to say this), the top right is clearly a walled city like Padua or Citadella, or Monselice or Este, and the middle top and bottom looks very much like abstractions from the inside domes of San Marco ..
But that's only because I'm convinced it's a Venetian/Paduan production.. If I were convinced of it being Chinese, I'd pick other things .
