Sheela-Na-Gig is a Celtic fertility goddess.
Representations of this female figure carved in stone are to be found all over Ireland and England.
The Sheela-Na-Gig in this painting is inspired by the one of Kilpeck Church, Herefordshire, England.
A woman, in a garment of peacock butterfly wings, is dreaming on the marble bench dedicated to Sheela-Na-Gig.
The naked openness of the goddess contrasts with the woman's garment, that conceals her body.
It is a butterfly dress (refering to psyche) and besides, the woman has crossed her legs,
by which she has closed the entrance.
