That seems to be the type that ReneZ showed being used in the Balneis illustration. Good to get a clear view of the object... and like the poppy proposed by MarcoP, it explains the row of dots, which the spindle doesn't.
I agree. The fact that the sources quoted by Rene and JKP are two medical manuscripts, one about baths and the other about ingredients, mostly plants (Dioscorides), makes that interpretation very attractive to me.
Also, the image at the bottom left of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. is more similar to their examples (no "spike" and a softer shape).
