Devil or Hero?
March 29, 2007The fox is known for its cunning. In France the symbol of the fox came to represent Reynart, a medieval folk hero who outsmarted the nobles. It has also represented the devil and greed. In medieval times in England, the fox was considered vermin, as his cousin the coyote came to be considered in America.

If the figure is supposed to be an American Indian (doesn’t look like it to me, but let’s just suppose), then perhaps it represents the American colonies and the golden cup above might represent the Imperial Empire. Or maybe I’m just overthinking this one.
