[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4374536, member: 5833"]It is Lamant. I think the three lines scored below the name were put there deliberately but that they have no connection to the name.

An extreme case: [ATTACH=full]366118[/ATTACH] If you search for instances where we have discussed Lamant on this site, you will find many posts. An unusual presentation of 2 common themes. One is Cupid & Baby Bacchus, as I call him, hanging out & getting drunk together. [ATTACH=full]366111[/ATTACH] The other is of Venus or another female attendant teasing Cupid by holding an arrow out of his reach, [ATTACH=full]366116[/ATTACH] What is unusual is the combination of the two. The lady is a bit overdressed for Venus, but I don't know what Lamant had in mind.[/QUOTE]
