[quote:Anonymous Coward 57427205:MV8yNjM0NjI3XzQ2MTc2NDg2XzZCNjk2OTUw] Thanks. The other symbols that were far more interesting were the pine cones everywehre. In ancient egypt the gods were holding them. In chinese dynasties they were there. In roman art they were there. The pine cone representative of the pineal gland. Pretty awesome when you know what to look for what you can see. http://www.thirdeyepinecones.com/history-symbolism [/quote]

So, I went to the metropolitan museum of art today. It was pretty fantastic, but i noticed a lot of masonic imagery (obviously--Rockefellers had a ton of things there). I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about a specific hand signal that I saw in a lot of the paintings and statues.
It looks like the middle and ring finger are touching with spaces between the index and the pinky. Often the pinky and the index are in front of the middle too.
An example here. Her left hand.

There are too many of them to be a coincidence, and with paintings, a lot of thought goes into every detail. Perhaps its an inside signal that initiates put into their work to let people in the know "know". I'd love to hear the knowledge you guys have! thanks!
