  This image (late 15thC, Venetian?) reminded me a bit of the figures in one of the diagrams on the recto of the Rosettes foldout. Especially the "pyramid of scallops" motif that occurs in several sections of the VM. In the Venetian MS, this may be dismissed as a purely decorative motif used around an initial (E), but it seems to me that the choice is not random. 
  
  The scene illustrates Rev. 16:1 "Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”" 
  
  The phrase "God's wrath" recalls an earlier verse, Rev. 14:19 "And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God."
  
  So here, the decorative motif quite clearly refers to grapes.

  Cool find  , in regards to the bottom left image, it looks like where you would expect the usual "blowing heads"(?) of the winds. But piles of rocks don't blow wind.. 
  If I ever escape "vessel research prison" I'm really interested in the drawer(s) use of lines and dots, and what they mean (to them). Maybe it would help untangle some meanings if we could get sort of close. I think it could do with a better understanding and is worthy of effort either way.
