What is interesting in this entire thread and the pictorial research is it seems we all have a mutual understanding:
that the images in with details have a symbolic value and meaning in the VMS.
So we assume that the pictures are not to be taken literal, like "a woman is showing a ring" but the drawing is symbolic.

Birth of Aphrodite (very popular motif), this example from a 4th century Roman mosaic from Syria, as so often. Note that she is known for her long, flowing hair, looking in mirrors, wearing diadems and being surrounded by little nude fellows, as can be seen in both the VM and the mosaic.
