[split] Nude figures wearing crowns

[CaryR]

The first figure is apparently Luxuria holding an ointment vessel. 

Since you say that crowned, nude women would be seen as Venus-types, would it be correct to say that Luxuria from the Heidelberg manuscript is drawn this way for this reason? Luxuria being a personification of lust? If so, that would make sense.

It makes me wonder, if any examples could be found of crowned, nude women that are not meant to be seen as Venus or Venus-types based on their context (other than VM nymphs, of course.)
Here is one more nude, crowned Venus from Vaticana, Pal. Lat. 1066: The roses are an unusual detail.
