General notes on Image 3

 

 

 

 

Specific Observations

  Please record your notes about this image in the list below.  Use the letter/number grid to identify the point on the image that you're describing.  To keep things organized, 1) please start each observation with a letter/number combo (in bold), and 2) add new observations in the right place on the list to keep everything alphabetized.

  • G1 - The thumb and forefinger of the knight's right hand appear to be spread apart to measure something.  The fact that this hand extends outside the margin of the picture might suggest that we are supposed to apply that measurement to some other image.
  • G2 - The strange hook hanging from the knight's right wrist could be a scythe or it could represent Cape Cod.
  • H2 - Key.
  • H5 - The jewel is a garnet.
  • H7 - This bell is very similar to the one on display outside the Paul Revere House in Boston.
  • H8 - The crack in the wall may be in the shape of Roanoke Island.
  • H9 - Key.
  • J3 - The flower is a white carnation.
  • J8 - This bell is very similar to a Japanese temple bell on display in the Back Bay Fens of Boston.
  • L2 - There appears to be a Christian cross carved into the stonework, similar to the cross in the lion's mane in Image 2.
  • M8 - There appears to be a pea on the spoon, leading some to suggest that this might be a peaspoon.
  • M9 - The object hanging from the spoon has not yet been identified, but it may be a tea bag.

 

 

Other Notes:

  • This image has many geometrical connections to Image 11.  The two may be connected in some way.
  • This is the only image where the contents extend outside the margin.
  • This may be a representation of the Red Cross Knight, a character is The Faerie Queene by Edmund Spenser.

Questions, questions, questions...

  • What is the symbolism of the keys?
  • If the knight is measuring something with his right hand, does that distance match up to anything else?
