DescriptionVertical black and sepia image divided into two sections. The top section is of a nude woman sitting on the ground with her back facing the viewer with a snake wrapped around her. The text below the nude woman says "Lilith" with small floral designs on either side. Below the text is an image of five figures. One figure is in a tree and has the body of a snake with a human head. Two other figures are in the act of pushing out the other two figures. The background looks like a garden landscape.
