I do think the feet are supposed to represent hooves. They look a lot like the way hooves were sometimes drawn in Roman mosaics. So I wouldn't discount the ram theory right away, but I'm not convinced yet about scales for wool.

All of those sheep have either no pattern or something that looks more woolly than scaly. All those images show is a stunning shortage of halos, shepherds and angel wings in the Voynich images.(29-03-2016, 03:58 PM)Koen Gh. Wrote: You are not allowed to view links.

The comparison picture of the possibly dead animal, shown above by Koen, always reminded me of the emblem of the Knights of the Golden Fleece, and even though this order started after the probable creation of the MS, the theme is of course much older.

(This is just an arbitrary example - one of the first that Google search turns up).
So..... how about a dead ram on a celestial sacrifice table?

The Order of the Golden Fleece was created in 1430.
By 1435, there were already 4 chapters in the Order: Bruges, Lille, Dijon and Brussels.
I don't know why you say it's too late, to me this seems to be exactly on target!
