  If one looks at the Middle left rosette there are similar blue scuff marks.
  I think that the shapes containing the blue scuff marks are windows
  and the blue scuff marks represent the sky (perhaps to save paint).
  
  As Koen pointed out in post#1,
  "Conceptually, we can probably assume this scene takes place either in the sky or in the heavenly realm (or both)."
  Then as in the middle left rosette the 'curved dabs of blue paint' could represent the sky.
  
  The detail could be an artistic device to convey the notion that the sky is a canopy
  i.e the detail is guy ropes and such like.
  
  Or
  
  I'm just throwing this out there, the detail represents the Milky way.

  Two stylised metal leaves and a metal button connecting them.

  Elaborating on Cvetka's idea of a monstrance, I think the overall shape of the detail is more similar to the symmetrical way they often drew chalices and lidless ciboriums. The style I circled below is quite common:

  I know, its uncommon and doesn't really fit with the overall style of the MS, but maybe somethin vaguely like this? (depiction of an angel in the Hagia Sophia)
