I love this thought, and I am so glad that there are people who do not want to to lose these ancient symbols and meanings.
It is especially interesting to me and my colleague who are currently doing some work (mainly my colleague.. not so much me) on the decoration of East Devon Bobbins. What do all those symbols mean? I have learned that there are about 6 or 8 ways of depicting an anchor... each of which means something different. I am currently delving into the meanings of different types of lines (Starting with heraldic lines) We have never really got to the bottom of the Mother and Babe symbolism, what does it mean, when was it given or ordered, and as I raised some time ago... what if there are multi babes in the shank? All this is fascinating stuff. Never let us downgrade the value of history or the recording of it. I might add, however small the detail, as other who come after us may well build on what we know or think. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
