Vaginal Jars - Swan-neck (homosexuality)


There are two major sexual themes in this fresco. The feminine figure at the lower left is pouring a fluid from two jars, suggestive perhaps of unused vaginal secretions. The central figure, to the right and above the woman with the jars, is a man holding the neck of a swan next to his legs. The "swan's neck" was symbolic of homosexuality.
