I have noticed one other comparison between the Hunterian merperson and the one in the VMS.
In the Hunterian image, the merperson is holding the comb with four fingers visible. At the end of the tail of the VMS image, it looks like the same comb (facing the other way), but the four fingers pattern from the first image is repeated here at the very end of the tail.
Another coincidence?
Or the clincher?
Look at all the world's manuscript merpersons. Can you find one anywhere with four finger-like things at the end of the tail or what looks like a comb in the tail?
Look hard. I have.
Oh! And neither merperson is carrying the usual accessory for merpeople - a mirror.
Thank you.
