[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9974574, member: 2844"]Since the owner was Presbyterian, which is of Scottish origin, I wonder if the lady is Margaret of Denmark, 15th century queen of Scotland. "She became a popular queen in Scotland and was described as beautiful, gentle, and sensible." [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_of_Denmark%2C_Queen_of_Scotland#References']https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_of_Denmark,_Queen_of_Scotland#References[/URL] Maybe "sensible" is depicted by the owl, for wisdom? The ship could mean that she came from across the sea, from Denmark. Her headdress is earlier than 15th century, but not every artist knows costume history. And Medieval is Medieval, right?:joyful:[/QUOTE]
