I would love to help in translation but even if there is a text relating to this illustration (which usually is not the case) it will not be easy to read the Gothic minuscule script. Perhaps we will be lucky though if Alexander took the line drawing from a transcribed later editition.

Any comment or brainstorming on this curious object is much welcome!!!

Best,
Michael
