<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 4234120, member: 7360"]Yes, the three figures do have different roles. The main figure lower left seems to be milking the snakes for their venom, perhaps to put in that large metal vessel nearby. The seated man seems to add a spiritual element. The one in the background is either handling the snakes or is perhaps being attacked, he does look a bit startled! This print is a lot more complicated than I first imagined, and I think I will learn a lot while researching it, with the help from the lovely Antiquers here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
