Description: A sword emerges from a man's mouth and curves back to pierce his own chest, while two others look on. In the background, two men embrace, one holding a mask and the other a knife and purse. The Latin superscription reads, "The mouth that lies, kills the soul Wis. 1" (wisdom 1:11) and the text below, "Is it lawful to conceal a sham by lying? The lying mouth slaughters the soul with a sword of speech.".
