Roots don't grow up out of the ground, curl together and reattach themselves in a very symmetric way under normal circumstances. At the very least, it is stylized or it is an attempt to show something that the illustrator can't quite visualize in 3d.
Exactly. Rene, if we're both talking about the same thing (i.e. the dark brown part, whatever that may be, root or branches or both), I don't understand how you can call this stylized arrangement of connected stumps "not exceptional"

See, ie, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. (Can't find a photo to post here at the moment, sorry).
Why not royal? AFAIK, most Royal crowns were circlets at the time. It was the high ecclesiastical crowns that were "hats" were covered tops and a top decoration. Some Royal houses did have Coronation crowns, which covered the head with a peak, but they were highly decorative with jewels, AFAIK.
You can clearly see in the VM three (can't think of the word . the spiky bits) with a fourth repeated at the top. The little lines may depict fabric, or they may depict a halo.

Is it so unreasonable then, that there may be other hidden shapes, ones that aren't as in-your-face obvious to the modern eye?
