Pretty Jael with the hammer

The pretty Jael picks a peg in the temple of the enemy general Sisera. In doing so, she disregards the hospitality that her father gave to Sisera.

Jael or Yael (meaning Ibex) is a woman mentioned in the Book of Judges in the Hebrew Bible, as the heroine who killed Sisera to deliver Israel from the troops of King Jabin.
