Detail of the flower creature "legs". Reminiscent of a jester's hat, invoking the nonconformist poets  and comic entertainers of the medieval time. It's best said by Beatrice K. Otto  in her book  "Fools are Everywhere: The Court Jester Around the World":

"Irreverent, libertine, self-indulgent, witty, clever, roguish, he is the fool as court jester, the fool as companion, the fool as goad to the wise and challenge to the virtuous, the fool as critic of the world. He could be juggler, confidant, scapegoat, prophet, and counselor all in one. If we follow his family tree along its many branches we encounter musicians and actors, acrobats and poets, dwarfs, hunchbacks, tricksters, madmen, and mountebanks."
