> Hi All:
> Just wondering if anyone out there can help me indentify a figure on a firemen's certificate. It is not any of the "usual suspects" I am familiar with in the fire service. It is a long haired female in a dress with a crown on her head and a spear in her hand. She is surrounded by what appears to be a rotary type gear, a shovel, a pick, a pan, what appears to be some sort of press type of machinery (roller with handle) and a couple of sacks of coins or gold. All the other imagery on the certificate is related to firefighting. I was thinking the imagery around her could refer to mining, but I have not been able to find any information: any help would be appreciated. If you contact me directly, I can also send you the image, if you think it would help.
