(and also with Pisces symbols it's the whole fish, not just the tail).

But why is a pool of bubbles surrounded by a cloud band? The reason why I labour the point of the cloud band is that at least we know and recognize this symbol from other manuscripts.Boiling water and steam, maybe?

. . . Conceptually, we can probably assume this scene takes place either in the sky or in the heavenly realm (or both). . . .They also used a special method of painting, applying curved dabs of blue paint, maybe suggestive of clouds?
There is also a strange detail of a couple of lines bottom left on the inner circle.

And I think such a perspective is possible and that other parts of the imagery may include views of things as seen from above.
