Antiquissima quaeque commentia

Image is from Alciati's book of Emblems. Title means: "All that is most ancient is a lie." It is not related to the shown image (Emblem 189) but to another.
I have placed it here because sometimes I like to give a sign of life and display what's on my mind in a diffrent context to see what clicks.
In the words of Grant Morrison: " While it is true that every grad school class on symbols will say that the meaning of the Holy Grail is The Femal principle, some time and effort devouted to meditating on the symbole and using it in the great work will produce far more interesting and meaningful ideas."
