At center is a nude male figure with his back to the viewer. In his right hand, he lifts an over sized key, while a large metal chain is draped over his shoulder. He bends down at the waist, gripping the chain with his left hand and holding it up to the humanoid face of a serpentine creature. The creature looks up in horror at the man who has wound the chain around its body which coils behind him, trailing in the distance.
