    Rather unsettling. (Bound hands and feet, head in submissive position.) What with turban and robes, has look of an "Oriental" slave.

    Interesting. In hagiography, Cecilia is indicated by the presence of one or more musical instruments, particularly an organ. Maybe the turban was enough for viewers to know.

    WOW!!! Finally found the whole (I think!) story....and she was apparently not bound (from looking at close up images), but killed by Axe....
