Salome and the dance of the seven veils.
Salome seems to have her fingers delved deep into everything

I am unsure if is the story or the depictions themselves that have me caught.
There is something fabulously seductive with the riches of her dress

Gustave Moreau The Apparition
mixed with the darkness of the unfolding story.
"suit of jeweled armor for his Salome"
