Image is Christ as a Horseman of the Apocalypse, but it is just wonderfully oddly executed! The horse-centipede, top right, is great too ;)

Another discussion of the buckle: http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ARd9mp97V_UC&pg=PA339&lpg=PA339#v=onepage&q&f=false … Case for all imagery referencing the Apocalypse, incl Christ's fangs! (Rev. 19:15)

@caitlinrgreen but it's the ears that make the picture! -
@cobbpasha The ears are wonderful---Christ looks almost monkey-like, with his wild hair, vampire fangs and fanged horse too!

@caitlinrgreen I see more of a mustache, with a mouth and scraggly beard below that. -
@mjd1735 it's an alternative interpretation---or perhaps some synthesis of Christian and traditional imagery? -
@caitlinrgreen Indeed. Syncreticism is almost the norm.
