Example 1
Example 2
...and here's a funny painting where he has somebody beating the "elves" off with, what, a sword or something, I guess. (No bowl in that one, just thought it was funny.)
Here's a thought - maybe he included the bowl hanging above in the OP painting for perspective on the size of the "elves"?

or how about a reeeeeeeeeeeally boring explanation that [again] has absolutely nothing to do with Aliens & UFOs....the bowl contained something they were drinking out of it....obviously the creatures are having a celebration ...edit on August 14th 2012 by greeneyedleo because: (no reason given)

First allow me to say that I am not making any claims, in fact, I am posting this here to see what some of the great researchers on ATS can come up with.
I was just browsing around at some artwork involving elves and I came across the painting La Ronde Des Farfadets (The Dance of the Elves) by the seventeenth century painter David Ryckaert III. Naturally I found the painting very interesting and at first I completely overlooked the strange bowl-shaped object in the center/top, figuring it was some image caught by the glare of the camera which took this image, but as I looked at it, it looked like it is part of the painting, to me. Here is the painting:
Anyone capable of confirming whether or not this object is in the painting? What do you think it looks like?
