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.
