Three concentric rings of text, bounded by faint mechanically drawn circles. A wider gap in the outer ring at 10:30 may be the starting place.
In the centre is a horned animal feeding from a manger. Below the bull is the word ``May'' in the Roman alphabet.
Between the inner ring of text and the middle ring are five human figures or "nymphs", each standing in a barrel, waist deep, holding a star. One is naked, four are clothed. The barrel at 00:00 is ribbed.
Between the middle ring and the outer ring are 10 human figures, each in a barrel, waist deep, holding a star. Two are naked, eight are clothed.
Most figures have visible breasts. Some have hats. All figures have their right hand inside the barrel.
Clockwise from each figure there is a short label.
Comments:
The animal at the center is probably a bull, the astrological symbol for Taurus. Taurus is April 20th to May 20th.
The general appearance of the page is light, in contrast to the dark Taurus, f72r1.
