Iconology of the Wayfarer Triptych – Detail

Tree mast with owl from Ship of Fools
So it seems that Bax [Bax, 1948, 189-194] and those who preceded him in relating the Louvre painting to a May festival were correct in their surmise, although they could adduce no artistic and literary models, except that the painting reflects local custom rather than festive formality. And it is to local custom that the leafy boughs in the boats in the miniatures, now gathered about the mast in the painting, may be attributed. (p.274)
