gage, eh?!? I love this painting. All I can say, really!
Yep, gage (noun usage 1 of 4): "Something of value deposited to ensure the performance of some action, and liable to forfeiture in case of non-performance; a pawn, pledge, security." From the Old French.
As usual with the OED, "Who knew?"
Thanks, Beth!
