I don't see a fish...but that's just me.
Speaking of f17r - the added script at the top (that matches the end-piece
"michiton oladabos" script - could the first words be "malheu allou l'un ho?
wi?hon" (Misfortune grant one ??? ???) (with????)
I know some people have better/enhanced scans. Any comments?

I suspect that the eye shadow was added later by someone other than the original scribe of the VMS. With a little imagination there may also be a hint of a fish framed by the herbal stems/branching in f65v when turned sideways with the head pointing downwards towards the roots. This may very well be just a coincidence, but then again who knows. Perhaps someday we will be able to sort out these subtleties.
