The containers in the Pharma section
#53
Diane,
I am sorry, but having read the two articles you linked, I cannot see a single object there that is an exact match to any of the Voynich containers and jars.
By the way, this is a problem you share with all of us: we can all find examples of objects that are quite similar to the Voynich ones, but containers (or stoves, or censers, or spiceboxes or whatever) that are exactly the same are much harder to come by, especially when it comes to the complex ones.

There are some of your examples where a part or two of the object is similar to a part of a Voynich jar, but none is really identical.
Your red cylinders are wider than they are tall, the opposite of the Voynich jar proportions, and your bamboo cylinders have a large handle on top, something that is conspicuously absent from the Voynich ones. The more complex ones you show are even less similar, and also you don't provide the date of manufacture of any of the objects pictured.

Perhaps if you posted side-by-side comparisons of the objects you think are the most convincing (with proper references regarding period of creation, location etc... as we do here for manuscripts) with their posited Voynich counterparts that might help you argue more persuasively that they are identical.
