Emblematic Jewels.
There are a few Proofs and Illustrations of the
" Notes " on this ancient Jewel, which as they would
have interrupted the examination of its devices and
mottos, it is better to throw together by themselves. —
In a list of New years Gifts presented by her nobility
to Queen Elizabeth, printed in Nichols' Progresses,
we find some Jewels of an allegorical and emblematic
character, and among them one given by Lady Lennox
herself to the Queen. It is thus described:
" A Casting bottle of Agate, garnished with gold,
" and sparkes of rubies, and a woman holding in her
" hand a scroll written with the word Abundantia."
Given by the Lady Margaret Lennox.
