<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9680661, member: 8267&quot;]I agree that they are intended to look &quot;Biblical&quot;. The jars probably indicate that the woman would be fetching water from a well, a common task for women. With the crook, the man is associated with the role of a shepherd, although his costume looks wealthier than a typical shepherd. They may be related to the story of Moses and Zipporah, where Moses helps the daughters of Reuel/Jethro water their flock. He is rewarded with Zipporah as his wife. Perhaps from a theater play.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://thebiblesays.com/commentary/exod/exod-2/exodus-216-22/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://thebiblesays.com/commentary/exod/exod-2/exodus-216-22/" rel="nofollow">https://thebiblesays.com/commentary/exod/exod-2/exodus-216-22/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://theturkeytraveler.bibleodyssey.org/articles/women-and-wells-in-the-hebrew-bible/#:~:text=Abraham's%20servant%20stopped%20at%20a,2%3A15%2D22%20" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://theturkeytraveler.bibleodyssey.org/articles/women-and-wells-in-the-hebrew-bible/#:~:text=Abraham's%20servant%20stopped%20at%20a,2%3A15%2D22%20" rel="nofollow">https://theturkeytraveler.bibleodyssey.org/articles/women-and-wells-in-the-hebrew-bible/#:~:text=Abraham's servant stopped at a,2:15-22 </a>).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
