Hi Knox,
This one? http://beinecke.library.yale.edu/dl_crosscollex/brbldl/oneITEM.asp?pid=2002046&iid=1006200&srchtype=
For me, it's 70r; could you elaborate a bit on your idea please?
Regards,
Jean


Jean, Whatever significance applies to the star-connector should apply to the zodiac sign as well as to the nymphs. That might be too simplistic. Maybe the connection from the fish is a joke or a mistake by someone who did not know what he was drawing. Possibly, the connections serve to identify the nymphs or the artist copied from something in which connections to symbols were used to identify persons. Someone on the list might know whether that was conventional or not -- and in what place it might have been. I think that is in quite a different category from the cut-tubes theme, which appears pathological to me.

Regards, ........... Knox
