[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4289844, member: 5833"]I knew they were letters, but to me they were just marks. I couldn't figure out which ones went with which. I knew someone with a degree of facility would know what made sense. This is the front of the piece: [ATTACH=full]345236[/ATTACH] What are presumably the artisan's initials are at about 4 o'clock; the name of the subject is hidden in the scrollwork at 7 o'clock. Strangely, I believe it says Rachel, when the figure is carrying a water vessel on her shoulder, which is usually Rebekah. Rachel is depicted with sheep & a shepherd's crook. [USER=301]@komokwa[/USER] Sorry to bother you again. Am I misreading it? I need to go to bed now, almost 1AM. If a thank you is slow in coming, you'll know why. Zzzzzzz. :)[/QUOTE]
