(Reeds) # # Description: # # The page contains a circular diagram, and under it a single paragraph # of text (5 lines, the last one short and centered). # # The diagram is framed by two faint mechanically dawn circles, and # four rings of text --- one betweent the two circles, the other three # just inside the second circle. A wide gap in all four rings at 09:00 # suggests an obviosu starting point, confirmed by four radial strokes # across the first ring (that may be modern scribbles in the copy, # however). # # (There are other simultaneous gaps in all four rings at 01:00 and # 05:00, so the four rings may actually be two or three paragraphs # side by side.) # # At the center of the diagram there is an uncolored disk, bounded by # a mechanically drawn circle, containing a small moon---with a dark # crescent shadow on the left side, and a human face with neutral # expression on the right. # # Just outside this central disk there is a wide decorated band # containing four small human figures. The decoration looks like a # perspective drawing of a flat field, bent around the inner disk with # the innermost edge being closer to the observer. In the "field" # there are five parallel rows (concentric rings) of elements, shaped # like tombstones with rounded top. The "tombstones" are painted in # various colors, and some have dots, borders, or other simple # decoration. In the innermost ring, which is unobstructed, the # elements are fused together at the base. # # Between these rows of "tombstones", the field is packed with round # objects (which could be bushes, leaves, pebbles, bubbles, etc.). # # The "tombstones" in the first four rows are packed tight, and a # larger "tombstone" is inserted every 3-6 standard ones. The last row # (outermost ring) has only small tombstones, painted with alternating # colors, some distance apart (with some blades of "grass" in # between). # # The third row of tombstones is interrupted at 11:30, 02:30, 05:30, # and 08:30 by four human figures. The human figures are hidden by the # "bushes" from the waist down. The North figure is barely visible, # because of a a crease in the vellum. The West and South figures are # female (with visible breasts), and the same may be true of the other # two. They wear a white dress with ring collar and broad sleeves, # apparently tied at the wrists. Their hair is dark but not black, and # is just long enough to cover the ears. The South, West, and North # figures have both arms spread out like a "W", with hands open; East # has only the left arm up, in the same position. # ## {} # Circular text around diagram # Last edited on 1998-12-10 06:02:15 by stolfi # # "U" transcription by J.
