[Other] Presentation of Siloe facsimile with S.Bax and R.Zandbergen

[Paris]

The Siloe people also run a very interesting museum on books (el museo del libro) here in Burgos. They are opening a new museum cafe with a unique theme!

First of all, thanks to you, DavidJackson, for this summary of this event.

I watched carefully your photo about this new coffee of the museum.
We can see a lion reading a book.
It makes sense because the city of Burgos (where is located this museum) is part of the province of Castille-and-Leon.
Leon = Lion, in english.

But, I was interested by the blazon above the lion.
It's not the blazon of Burgos.
It looks like a "4" if you turn head on the left.

This symbol is very similar to an alchemic fireplace.
This fireplace is located in the castle of Fontenay-le-Comte (France).
Originally, it was located in another castle, in Coulonges-sur-Autize (France), in 1563.
The description of this fireplace has been done by an anonymous alchemist, Fulcanelli, in 1930, in his second and last book, Dwelling of the Philosophers.
