RE: Well of Moses

I still find this one fairly amusing. This is practically like the perfect, invisible cloud-bunny. Here is a cloud-bunny that can't be seen at all. There's nothing to be seen, only the somewhat obscured indications that something here might be hexagonal in shape. It might be a throne or whatever. It almost seems ridiculous. How can something be identified, if it can't be seen?
It's like fitting piece into a jigsaw puzzle - a piece with knobs on all four sides. First, the Well of Moses is hexagonal. Second, it is VMs C-14 contemporary as of 1405. Third, it has a Burgundian connection to the Golden Fleece. Fourth, it connects to Dijon and with La Sainte Hostie de Dijon.
The piece fits. It fits without any reference to its visual presentation. It fits because of its 'nature' and its 'structure' not because of its appearance. And as such it is yet another, albeit rather subtle, addition to the growing set of disguised religious indications in the VMs illustrations.
