IMAGE number
BL3292636
Image title
A naked, dragon-tailed woman hanging from the branches and caressing a naked man sat on the trunk of the tree; they are surrounded on either side by five gold feathers (to the left) or five silver feathers (to the right), each labelled ('spiritus', 'anima'); the base of the tree stands within a heptagonal enclosure filled with water; a man and a woman are standing beside the trunk; alchemists holding flasks stand in the turrets at the corners of the enclosure. A pillar descends from the base of this enclosure, again resting in a square battlemented enclosure filled with water; a large man is grasping the pillar, and is accompanied by a man and woman; parts of their bodies are labelled; the pillars at the corners of the enclosure support flasks that contain various objects or scenes. The front wall of the enclosure bears an inscription ('The Red Sea, the red Lune, the red sol'), a large dragon and green frog, and a further inscription; beneath, verses.
