Description

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.

The photograph in Newbold is cropped, so part of this word ring isn't visible
