Abstract:
A grotesque demon-like figure looks toward the viewer with terror in his huge eyes; his left thumb in his mouth. In front of him is a raging fire in a pot and a snake with a barbed tongue and sharp teeth who raises its head towards the demon's right arm. Below the pot are two lines: Let thy eyes, little saucers be, Frigthen all the world but me!
