You may be wondering why someone is holding a mike to a vagina.
It's a long story and I'm not going to spoil it for you. I'd rather have you watched the film Le Sexe qui parle (above) and learn more about a nagging vagina loquens. The trope of the vagina, or vulva loquens is one of the most fun in Western history, along with the two stalwarts frightful vagina dentata and the sweet Maria lactans. Look, there is even such a thing as a mentula loquens too! One tip then, see the film Marquis. It would make an extra special double feature.
A gastrocephalic (belly faced, see prev. post[1]) demon[2], standing above a hell mouth. Above the head of the demon is a banderole with the words "Timor mortis conturbat me, quilla inferno nulla est redemptio" (the fear of death disturbs me, because there is no redemption in Hell).
This is the front right-hand wing from the Triptych of Earthly Vanity and Divine Salvation [3] (c.1485), a triptych by Hans Memling in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg.
Note the breasts of the demon.
