<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 87977, member: 44&quot;]When I 1st saw them I thought the fiddler character in <i>The Fiddler on the Roof</i>, but quickly saw they weren&#039;t for the fiddler wasn&#039;t dressed like these imps. The fireplace tools stumbed me until the idea of possibly chimney sweeps that are sometimes portrayed dancing around on roof tops. Probably the use of fireplace tools are to clue us in to whom they are suppose to be?? Then again they may be kitchen servants, knaves, characters of medieval England. I think Shakespeare portrayed kitchen knaves as mischievous??</p><p><br /></p><p>&gt;... playing andirons... &lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmmm... I don&#039;t really think I&#039;m seeing andirons, but then again? I thinkkk I&#039;m seeing the fireplace tools of shovel, tongs, fireplace handled trivet and possibly hanging from the side of one a bellows and a long handle ladle from the side of the other. These tools are more easily seen on the figurines on the etsy site.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
