VMs: Cylinders and the 9 rosettes



Dear list,
Has anyone experimented with shiny cylinders on  the 9 rosettes?
The spiral text round the centre of no 3 (with the castle) caught my eye.The centre is empty.
So, by lack of better equipment I placed the lipstick holder of my wife in there and strange things occur, but this device is far from perfect ,,just like the prints so can't make much of it yet.
Putting the cylinder in the centre one(no 5),something nice happens with the "mills", no 2,4 and 8.
They "hang" above the centre pourring whatever it is downwards, like above the nymph with the cross on 79v. and others.
Maybe placing a much larger cylinder in no5,only leaving the outside ring gives a better impression, but I haven't found anything proper to use for that .
Another example of cylinder usage could be f86v4.The one with the moon in the centre and the four men around as the "seasons".
The left man is looking at the left,the right one to the right,the bottom one shows his front, the top one his back.
Placing a shiny cylinder in the centre ,goin' around, one is lookig at the same person in the centre like walking around him,though the armpositions alter...
 
For now, have to find proper cylinders or someone who tells me to check the archives better before wasting time on something already done before!
 
Cheers, Johannes.
