A funny coincidence with the root of f2r

[JustAnotherTheory]

This is probably just a coincidence, but it looks cool:

   

The MS on the right is the Kitāb Arshimīdas fī al-binkāmāt (British Library, Add MS 23391). It's a 13th century Arabic treatise on hydraulic machinery. I thought some of the machines looked a bit like VMS plant roots.

EDIT: I rotated the Arabic picture upside-down so that it matches the orientation of the VMS root.

That's pretty cool. What's with the foliage and the birds though, did you rotate the picture from the original?

[Rafal]

The Arabic picture is upside down, right?

[JustAnotherTheory]

Yes, sorry I forgot to mention, that I rotated the picture upside-down so that it matches the orientation of the VMS root. I will edit the OP.
