#2: Girl holding a little lamb.
#3: Â No lamb, but lots of armor.
#4: This guy was prominent enough in life to have an official portrait painted of him.
#5: Exterminators could learn a thing or two from this fellow.
#6: What’s she got on that plate?
#7: A more recent saint, obviously — one who experienced a very dark chapter of human history.
