An illustration from a medieval manuscript depicting a hybrid creature with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a green serpent. She wears a gold crown and a light teal long-sleeved bodice that seamlessly transitions into her tail. She is holding a long, dark staff or spear diagonally across her body with both hands. -

#medieval #MedievalArtAny excuse to plug one of Ken Russell's greatest films, The Lair of the White Worm (1988), based on a novel by Bram Stoker. It features Amanda Donahoe as the serpent lady in question, with a taste for seducing boy scouts in her bath. Spoofed-up folk horror with all our Ken's bells and whistles.

#FilmMastodon@riggbeck @medieval_illuminations I saw this one in the theater. And had DVD for many years. Very solid movie.
