So who gives a 1yr old a toy like this?
What sort of symbolism is involved here...
Was it from a real baby?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visconti_of_Milan
Note the serpent eating a human as the ‘symbol’ of this particular ‘family’.
Interesting family tree at the bottom. “Valentina Visconti, elder daughter of Giangaleazzo Visconti, Duchess of Orléans and grandmother of King Louis XII of France, who conquered Milan as her heir”
Valentina is a Hapsburg on her mother’s side.
Are all the ‘noble’ families into cannibalism? Makes you wonder...
Interesting. Blends ever so distantly to my ancestry. Will have to spend time diving into this
