<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 673803, member: 39&quot;]She is a lute player. Here is some info about such pieces (note that the inscription mentioned in that article differs from the one here):</p><p><a href="http://www.money.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&amp;Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&amp;ContentID=7216" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.money.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&amp;Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&amp;ContentID=7216" rel="nofollow">http://www.money.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Home&amp;Template=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&amp;ContentID=7216</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The article does not explain, however, why the lute player is depicted. Guess that is an allusion to a place named Lautenthal (lit. Lute/s Valley) in Lower Saxony which used to have a silver mine. So I suppose the woman is Fortuna with a lute ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
