[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [qb] [IMG]http://members.cox.net/tei/lessonSamples/newslettersImages/Queen.gif[/IMG] Seem familiar? [IMG]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/af/Elizabeth_I_of_England_-_coronation_portrait.jpg[/IMG] [/qb][/QUOTE]Actually, many of you missed the point. ONE derives from THE OTHER: 1) Symbols of state, ie fans, rings, poles, jewels crowns and wide dress. 2) Wide flared dress as a sign of power, authority and beauty. One is real and the other is similac. The point I was making is the symolic and literal apparatus of state for European royal women traces directly back to Africa. Also, the symbolism of Europeans conquering the black globe is ALSO part of the tradition of European royal portraiture. The Europeans understood this symbolism so well that they made extra effort to steal them from the Africans: obelisks, benin bronzes and other artifacts were all PURPOSELY obtained by military conquest as symbolizing their DOMINATION of the black globe, symbolically and literally. This allows them to REP about beatdowns on Africans as part of their prestige and heraldry. Therfore, using the symbolism of chess, the queen becomes the most powerful figure on the board, making moves and taking over under her right to rule, forcing all vanquished foes (blacks) to kneel at her feet (Queen of England).
