Mouth of Truth

Mouth of Truth ('Bocca della Verità' in Italian) is an image (carved

from Pavonazzo marble in the 4th century B.C.) of a bearded man-like

face with a dark slot for a mouth located in the portico of the Church

of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome, Italy. It was believed that "Mouth

of Truth" clamps your fingers if you stick your hand in it and tell a

lie. 'Mouth of Truth' was captured on my compact camera (Kodak

EasyShare Z 650). Comments & suggestions are solicited.
