Also, the face looks like a mountain lion. Otherwise known as a Nittany Lion. As in Penn State Nittany Lions. Wondering if the bells are eluding to the Liberty Bell also. But I, like you, definitely see it being a Pennsylvania thing.
Interestingly enough, PA came to my mind also. Keys and Stones are a huge theme...Keystone, Keystone State. Also the armor appears Dutch as well as the shoes on the little fairy are Dutch sandals. PA is a notorious Dutch settlement. I'm still torn between Bethlehem, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia or more specifically Germantown. The skirting seems to almost elude to beams of steel as well as the suspension under the arms look like a bridge.
Hello! Pittsburghee here! I am hoping to look more into this image and verse. I do agree the keys and the stone in the background "keystone" but I have yet to find anything symbolizing Pittsburgh in the image.
Hi Donna, did you and your husband have any luck with this one? I had no luck getting permission to dig in my solution area in Florida. Just wondering... Thx.
I took a different approach. I think it might be in Plymouth, MA. I'm seeing correlations with England/Pilgrims, the mayflower and Susanna White (a pregnant mayflower passenger)
Could this be in Macedonia, Ohio? A carnation is the Ohio state flower and the statue looks like a scarecrow. Apparently in Ohio there is a Wizard of Oz Festival.
Roswell, New Mexico. You can find the letters for Roswell spelled out in the armor and the spacing of the armor. The helmet looks like a UFO, the background is a moon or space scene, there is a floating alien attached or being beamed up to the flower in the bubble. The entire being is outlined in g a green blue glowing color you know alien like. hahah
Even though others call this "The Scarecrow" or "Medieval Scarecrow", I think it looks more like a viual pun; "Man-o-War", and he is so heavily armed he needs braces to support his arms.
weren’t suits of armor made from steel? pittsburgh STEELERS…. steelworkers made up pittsburgh. and after watching expedition unknown they said it’s about immigrants who came to the “new world” and it was a big german immigrant city.
Looks like bag pipes the red skirt does
ReplyDeleteLooks like a bridge where your the stomach is
ReplyDelete(Is anyone here ?) working on painting #3
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely intrigued by it.
DeleteI am a dilettante when it comes to this-but for some reason when I looked at this painting I thought of Bethlehem, PA...
ReplyDeleteAlso, the face looks like a mountain lion. Otherwise known as a Nittany Lion. As in Penn State Nittany Lions. Wondering if the bells are eluding to the Liberty Bell also. But I, like you, definitely see it being a Pennsylvania thing.
DeleteThe stomach area looks like a crossbow

ReplyDeletei think it's toronto
ReplyDeleteWhy?
DeletePossibly Kansas- There’s a reference to OZ in the poem and the picture could represent the tin man.
ReplyDeleteI think I see the word Pittsburgh drawn into this

ReplyDeleteThe suit screams Spanish influence and the number of keys can't be a coincidence. Florida Keys???
ReplyDeleteI think it’s Minneapolis. Along the bottom right looks like a spoon with a cherry. There is a giant spoon with cherry in Minneapolis
ReplyDeleteWas the spoon and cherry there clear back when this started? 1980, I think.
DeleteThere are 2 areas that seem like they reference the 4 corners area.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I have deciphered this image and are working on approval for our dig. Will update once we know more.

ReplyDeleteI believe this could be Roanoke Island due to the fact that the outline of the island is in the picture.

ReplyDeleteScreams Philadelphia

ReplyDeleteThere is a sun dog behind the knight and the band Kansas has a song called Sundog.
DeleteThe knight looks crucified and there is a hole in the ribs where Jesus was speared.
ReplyDeleteLooks like new Mexico ,Roswell.head of tin man is ufo
