I do not recall if it has previously been noted, but for the
record there are two suns that appear in the corners of the 9-rosette (f85/f86)
foldout folios, one in the top left corner and one in the bottom right hand
corner. Only a few remnants of the sun drawn in the bottom right hand
corner appear in the Copyflo.
(Thanks to Petr Kazil for these online references)
Top left (North West): (shown here "upside down" in reference to Copyflo,
at the bottom right corner in this URL)
Bottom right (South East): (also shown here upside down at top left
corner)
At the bottom left and top right corners are the spherical objects (clock?)
'contrived' by human hands.
