<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fridolina, post: 10016174, member: 17433&quot;]Thank you Bronwen, I’ll explore Venus/Aphrodite lead.</p><p>I think, her hands suggest that she is about to string her bow, although she looks more busy looking beautiful than doing the job at hand. When not in use, bows were kept unstrung. The procedure requires, the string, which is attached to one end (the “bottom”) of the bow, be brought to the other end, bending the bow, and then the string is attached to the other (“top”) end. The bow on the cameo, being so straight, shows that it doesn’t have the string on.</p><p>All this, could be just my imagination. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]503052[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Orazio_Gentileschi,_Diane_chasseresse_(17e_siècle,_cropped).jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Orazio_Gentileschi,_Diane_chasseresse_(17e_siècle,_cropped).jpg" rel="nofollow">https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Orazio_Gentileschi,_Diane_chasseresse_(17e_siècle,_cropped).jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]503035[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.mediastorehouse.com/liszt-collection/diana-stringing-bow-18687275.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.mediastorehouse.com/liszt-collection/diana-stringing-bow-18687275.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.mediastorehouse.com/liszt-collection/diana-stringing-bow-18687275.</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]503036[/ATTACH]</p><p><a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/image/2312/eros-stringing-his-bow/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.worldhistory.org/image/2312/eros-stringing-his-bow/" rel="nofollow">https://www.worldhistory.org/image/2312/eros-stringing-his-bow/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
