Re: Rubber ducky?

Hi everyone,

   Interesting observations.Well, when I see red I guess I think blood,
ink, dyes, paint, yarn, certain fruits and nuts, etc. If we look at rose
hips, flip them over, cut them open to expose the insides, then perhaps
we have something that looks like the "Rubber ducky" (or is it Peking
Duck showing off its spine?) in f76v. The head of the bird is a
curiosity. I had assumed this was another representation of a spindle.

My tentative inference would be that - because of the dotted line down the middle - whatever it is, it is probably hollow, or has a hollow core. Following GC, possibly a bladder of some sort?

As for a rubber duck... I think it looks more like a brace of kippers. :-) But here are a couple of gratuitous rubber duck links anyway...
