Dear Mike,
You might look at the south rose window of the cathedral of Berne,
which has been published, among others, by Ellen Beer. It not
only has representations of the four elements, but intriguingly,
piromancy, aeromancy, geomancy, etc., as well as winds, zodiac,
seasons, etc.
Cheers,
Jim Bugslag
