Page: f71r    Title: "Aries light"

Description:
A circular diagram defined by six faint mechanically drawn
concentric circles, forming three narrow bands. The two outer bands
each contain a ring of text, broken by a decorated section in each
band, at 10:00.

In the center there is an animal resembling a beardless goat,
light-colored, nibbling at a bush, standing on a scalloped (rocky ?)
ground. below it is a non-voynich word "ab*i*l".

In the space between the inner and middle bands there are 5
nymphs, and 10 more in the space between the middle and outer band.
Each nymph is standing inside an upright barrel, with a star or
flower next to her head. Some stars have tails (or stems); some nymphs
are holding their stars, by a ray or by the tail, others are
pointing at them, some have their both hands on the hips. All but one of
the nymphs are heavily dressed, and none have salient breasts or visible
nipples.

There is a label clockwise from each nymph.

Comments

Presumably, the "notched square" devices at 10:30 may be the "start
here" mark of the circular text bands.

The goat is drawn better than the dark Aries (f70v1), and its legs
bend the right way, unlike those of the light Aries (f71r). The
nymphs (and the barrels), on the other and, are even worse than
those of dark Aries.
