The greatest beast in the Bible.

Babylon the Great, commonly known as the Whore of Babylon, refers to both a symbolic female figure and a place of evil as mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. Her full title is stated in Revelation 17:5 as "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth" (Greek: μυστήριον, Βαβυλὼν ἡ μεγάλη, ἡ μήτηρ τῶν πορνῶν καὶ τῶν βδελυγμάτων τῆς γῆς,

From the book of Revelation in the Bible: Chapter 17 verses 3-5

3. and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

The Whore of Babylon; clothed in a Venetian costume and holding a cup aloft, she is mounted on a beast with seven heads, the destruction of Babylon in the background, with German letterpress text on the verso. One of 15 illustrations of the 1498 German edition.

La imagen de la lámina es mucho más oscura de lo que parece en las fotos, no sirve para exponer. Además en su anuncio solo menciona un desgarro pero tiene varios, tapados con cinta adhesiva. Un engaño
