Figure of Concord seated on a chair and taking a woven cord from the procession of Sienese citizens, councillors and magistrates, detail from the fresco of the Allegory of Good Government (Allegoria del Buon Governo), from the series The Allegory and Effects of Good and Bad Government (L'Allegoria e Effetti del Buono e del Cattivo Governo), painted 1338-39 by Ambrogio Lorenzetti, c. 1290-1348, in the Sala dei Nove or Salon of Nine or Council Room, in the Palazzo Pubblico or Town Hall, Siena, Tuscany, Italy. Concord holds on her knee a carpenter's plane, representing the levelling of society, and the cord represents the binding together of citizens in a society and to its rulers. Lorenzetti was commissioned by the Council of Nine to produce allegorical frescoes covering 3 of the 4 walls of their council chamber, and he produced 6 scenes on the 3 fresco panels.
