meaning?

[edit]

please also report on speculations about the meaning of the figure...?! ...besides the faint hint that it might have been a sacrificial animal ('artificial' biblical title...)... thanx! --HilmarHansWerner (talk) 02:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"Ram caught in a thicket"

[edit]

I see that "Ram caught in a thicket" redirects here. I think that is a mistake. For me, and I suspect for many English-speakers in Christian countries around the world, that phrase refers to an incident in the Book of Genesis chapter 22 in which God asks Abraham to sacrifice his son, as described in Wikipedia in the article Binding of Isaac. I would like to replace the redirect by a disambiguation page for "Ram caught in a thicket", linking both here and to Binding of Isaac.

Your opinions? Maproom (talk) 21:21, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, especially since the name "Ram caught in a thicket" for this sculpture is inspired by the story in Genesis (and is clearly a bit of a misnomer, since this is a sculpture of a goat and isn't "caught", but that's neither here nor there). Furius (talk) 22:12, 1 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agree entirely. Just do it. Johnbod (talk) 00:16, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
