Hanger met in het midden een gevleugelde vrouw 1528 - 1583

This pendant featuring a winged woman was crafted by an anonymous artist, using an engraving technique. The central figure, radiant with wings and light, stands triumphantly, yet her power is complicated by the symbols surrounding her: skeletons and mythical beasts intermingle with cherubic figures. This contrast invites us to consider the complexities of triumph, particularly for women. In a world where female figures are often allegories, the pendant perhaps reflects the tightrope women walk between strength and vulnerability, divinity and mortality. This piece becomes a statement about the multifaceted nature of femininity. It challenges traditional narratives and offers a space to contemplate female identity.
