Légende

A three headed monster in an alchemical flask, representing the composition of the alchemical philosopher's stone: salt, sulphur, and mercury, 1900-1909. Additional Info: Lennep identifies the beast as Cerberus, while he notes that Hartlaub calls it a lion. The three colours here (white, red and black) are the colours through which the philosopher's stone passes in the process of transmutation.
