Koen, now that I'm a little more awake than I was late (very late) last night, I remembered that it's Gemini that has the boot laces. Boot laces in zodiac imagery are rare to begin with, in Gemini probably very rare (especially considering that many Gemini figures are nude), but I'll check to be certain.
As for Diane requesting dates, most of the examples of zodiac imagery, except for historic mosaics and Egyptian sources are from the 10th century to about 1500 (usually about 1460). The one unusual example of a bowman in a handwritten manuscript from 1540 (and identified as such) is later than I usually sample, but probably is relevant because it clearly follows older traditions rather than the new printing-press traditions.
