Description

The page contains a circular diagram surmounted by a paragraph with 3.5 lines (unit "P").

The diagram consists of a faint circular outline filled with 29 randomly placed stars, each with a label (unit "S").

At the top and bottom of the diagram, just inside the outline, there are two smaller circular medallions.

The top medallion (the Sun) sports a ring of fang-shaped rays. Inside it is the face of a woman, with short curly hair and crossed eyes; and three voynichese words (unit "X").

The bottom medallion is framed by a circular band with some text (unit "Y"). Inside the frame is the face of a man(?), also with crossed eyes, apparently with short hair and a "frame" beard, both dark.

Comments

The two medallions presumably represent the Sun and Moon. Compare this diagram with the following one (f68r2), which is visible at the right when the foldout is open.

The writing is awkward - letters tend to remain upright even at the
ends, where the text is almost vertical.
