Gemini crossed arms imagery

[Koen G]

Back in the day when I first researched the crossed hands pose I also ended up on such sources. What I'd really like to read is a scholarly article that would cast some light on the representation in manuscript art, but I haven't found one so far. Compared to the standard christian tradition of uniting the right hands, the crossed arms are rare and specific. (Which is all the more interesting for VM research)
