Description

Physical Description:

Printed in black, a snake with a rattle on its tail, large fangs, and a long tongue is wrapped around a figure walking towards the viewer's right wearing shoes with heels. The figure is in profile, with a wide-open eye, an extended tongue, outstretched hands, and shoulder-length hair that flows to the figure's back. A small snake points towards the figure's hand with an open mouth, and a multi-storied building is visible in the background.
