A match for the containers? 16th-17th century ivory vases
#15
Let me point out to both of you, that while the simpler forms of those reliquaries, or "ornate vessels" in the example above might indeed look like one or two Voynich containers, the more ornate ones, with the many embedded ornaments and the weird tripod (or n-pod) feet do not have any ressemblance to 1400s containers, as much as the ivory vases do.

The ivories room in Palazzo Pitti literally looks like an assortment of Voynich containers. Like someone made life-like versions of those illustrations. They all have those features and variations of the Voynich vessels, including the variations in base, body and cupole-like top.

To me, these ivories are the best match for the VMS vessels, so far.
