<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 3298190, member: 92556&quot;]Hello, Jochen. If you don&#039;t mind me saying, I think you&#039;ve got too much complicated technical detail, which makes it difficult to see the wood for the trees. I looked it up in a book of Art Symbols. It may not provide the answer, but I think there may be some possible clues, which make it easier to find and answer. &quot;Nemesis. In Greek mythology one of the daughters of Night who brought retribution , upon those whose natures were hardened by pride, or hubris. The figure of Nemesis resembles that of the goddess FORTUNE with whom she has some affinities, since both can bring about man&#039;s undoing. Both are represented as naked women, winged, BLINDFOLD, with a terrestrial GLOBE for a footstool.In one hand Nemesis holds a BRIDLE or a ROPE with which she binds man&#039;s pride, in the other a VASE containing riches and honour to reward the just. Her victims may crouch at her feet.&quot; With such details, including what her tasks were, it may seem easier. What would she have the object on her shoulder for ? Maybe to whip a horse, or maybe to punish an erroneous man ? Or maybe something entirely different ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
