Something I try to keep in mind when I look at medieval drawings is that pattern was very prevalent at the time. Everything was hand-crafted and artisans were often creative.
So, sometimes a row of columns on a building or in a manuscript will be designed so that each column has a different pattern, even though all the columns have the same function.
In the VMS, I tend to assume different patterns might have different meanings (just in case they do), but I am not certain this is true.
