Human figures, their number and clothing. - Koen G - 15-09-2016
I will present a set of statements here about the human figures in the manuscript, their number and state of undress.
1) There are [over five hundred] human figures in the manuscript.
I'm not sure of the number, but I seem to remember Rene once said something like this. Does anyone know more or have a source?
2) Additionally, a number of faces are found in the roots of some plants and on representations of heavenly bodies.
Plants with faces are:
- f33r: two faces
- f89r1 bottom middle: five faces
- f101v2 bottom: one face
3) Most human figures are completely naked (ignoring headgear).
4) Fifty human figures are clothed with at least one piece of clothing (ignoring headgear).
5) A large majority of human figures are female.
6) Some human figures have androgynous features.
Number (4) is based on a count I did just now. I ignored everything worn on the head, but included all other clothes worn, including a couple of ambiguous cases. The count might be repeated by somebody else to see if I didn't make any big mistakes.
