Pipe SmokerQuestions about an interesting avatar
Member Oat_Action_Man’s avatar has long interested me. The peculiar red hat appears to be of academic or religious association:
https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...020093294#5020093294Does anyone know?
Later I noticed that other members used that avatar too, so I guessed that it was one of the SIGforum stock avatar offerings but I don’t see it among them. So maybe there’s an ‘avatar’ web site out there. Does anyone know of that?

joel9507Can't speak to its use as avatar, but here is some background on the origin of the image itself.
Duke of Urbino Federico da Montefeltro (1422–1482) - WikipediaMay 31, 2022, 10:16 AM
Pipe Smoker^^^^^^^^
Thanks much Joel. Apparently the peculiar red hat was worn by Italian Nobles of that era/area.

It is one of the stock avatars. There are several pages of them to scroll through. It’s on page 7 if I counted correctly.

Ah so. I didn’t realize that there were more pages. Thank you.

Rey HRH"Diptych... of Federico da Montefeltro and Battista Sforza"
So that's where the insult came from.
