A snake arising from a pit with a bomb above and two faces in profile either side

Previous title, replaced January 2025: A blue face in profile with a flower in its mouth facing a green face in profile breathing fire; a snake arising from a pit; a bomb made of TNT. Watercolour by G. Gurr, 1983;

The blue face to the left has a flower emerging from its mouth and the green face to the left is breathing fire. The faces possibly represent film depictions of Frankenstein's monster and the Bride of Frankenstein. Both faces and the snake below have blood streaming from their eyes. Creator's name and date of creation are inscribed on the reverse, probably by Edward Adamson.
