  my first thought when you suggested the stars might represent fields was that they could represent troops/legions in an army. army generals in ancient rome and before, have used map markers to represent legions of troops.

  In the rosette with a Ghibelline (Swiss ?) castle, if the 120 asterisks are mentioned in the text, a Germanic influence could have resulted in the use of You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..
  
  Such non-decimal Germanic influence can be traced also to a silver coin (120 grana silver piece, weighing an ounce) which is called one piastre in Sicily, see "You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.".

  It could be assumed that the spiral text amid the 120 asterisks has the number 120 encoded in either base-10 or base-12 numerical representation.

  1386 
  You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. Swiss victory
  "Fought July 9, 1386, between 6,000 Austrians, under Duke Leopold, and 1,500 Swiss Confederates. The Swiss gained a complete victory, the Austrians losing 1,500 killed and wounded, while only 120 Swiss fell. The battle is celebrated for the heroic action of Arnold von Winkelried, who broke the line of the Austrian spearmen at the cost of his life, and enabled his followers to penetrate their phalanx."
  
  
  Could the 120 asterisks possibly be related to the 120 fallen Swiss soldiers?

  Regarding the 72 pipes: the impression is that they are shooting something out of a closed system. As I believe the central rosette represents the world (the surrounding rosettes are details merely), I think it makes the most sense (so far) to see the pipes as representing the sound of the 72 names of God reaching out to connect to the Divine. This comes from Kabbela. The 72 decans could be connected to this idea as well.
