Ya, i was shocked at the “reclining woman” entry, I can’t see anything in that pattern.
I think it's supposed to be a headless woman... But yeah. Not convinced.
With an extra-long bent torso?
There are three segments:
Left: legs.
Middle: male torso.
Right: Female torso.
Just imagine a man whose head, instead of being a head, is a girl's chest. And who has no arms. That's what's drawn on the map.
Is there a way to interpret it as a drawing of a human? No.
I think I see it now (not really the best representation of a woman).
she is lying on her stomach, with her hands in front of her, and above the head. Top right: feet Bottom left, hands
No, she is lying on her back and you have the sideview of her breasts. The cartographer didn't want to draw an elaborate woman, he just wanted to draw (side) boobs.
It's clearly a snake. There's even a forked tongue.
