A turtle-shelled dragon
#2
It reminds me of a creature from Chinese mythology: the dragon turtle. That being appears often in Chinese art but I didn’t realize the longgui appeared in the Voynich manuscript. Now I need to reread the Travels of Marco Polo to see if there is any mention of the longgui.

 As to your connection with Provence…well there was trade with the Duchy of Savoy which I think did trade with the County of Provence. So…maybe?
