In the painting, Mary is depicted as a black woman in a blue robe, while the elephant manure was smeared on the canvas and pornographic images around her, the images at first sight, look like butterflies, but when examined closely are photographs of female genitalia of pornographic images around the painting, meaning that holy mary had a sexual means with the spirit realm which is a total blaspheme.
