All the numbers in the rows and columns add up to 34. So do the diagonals. So also do the four inside squares, AND the four outside squares. 34 is a Fibonnacci number. ...1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34... Cool huh? Now what? Oh yeah, the drawing was done in 1514 by Albrecht Dürer. See bottom row. Wild.

I see the fibonacci spiral, don't you?
As you look at the Angel's wings, consider this:

Six becoming five? Note also the peculiar (unique) "tails" of the "5" and the "9." I don't know any of the answers here, BTW, I'm just looking at the art.
Hmmm... ok, now, keeping that 6/5 thing in mind, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dürer%27s_solid
