<p>[QUOTE="mirana, post: 9975160, member: 79705"]It's definitely at least the sun, but the positioning of her head is good design and I could see an artist using it as a halo. Her costume is so loosely medieval "style" to me that I can't figure who they meant, if any particular person. I'd be tempted to call her a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibyl" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibyl" rel="nofollow">sibyl</a> or maybe an embodiment of literature. Or just a fancy lady who likes to read. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
