Wiles of Women Table [about 1500 CE]

Wiles of Women Table [about 1500 CE]
Tabletop: Solenhofen limestone, etched; stand: oak.

The sandstone table top is decorated with etchings displaying the so-called "Wiles of Women". These are narratives where women try to be superior to their respective men by means of intrigues. Such juxtapositions of the power of women and the foolishness of men were particularly popular in the 16th century. Literary prototypes were biblical stories (i.e. Judith and Holofernes, Solomon's Idolatry or Samson and Delilah) as well as medieval secular poetry (Virgil in a Basket, Aristotle and Phyllis).
