The stained glass panel contains a personafication of Temperance, and the heraldic shield has three tiny geese in a row. In one interpretation, Temperance is watching over the drinkers as a "reminder" of that virtue. Are the geese "straightened out" and "lined up" versions of the people in the room? Do you see these, Ceoil? –Outriggr § 01:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Mmm, you have a source for that Outriggr, right? Ceoil 15:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Yep, but the ideas were by way of a book review on a Vermeer tome, and those ideas were considered rather "out there" in the review. Worth a mention I s'pose. –Outriggr § 19:51, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
