What's going on here then?...
From the theme of some of the other misericords around it I suspect an anti-money moral of some sort.
Oude Kerk, Amsterdam.

Close up photo of a carved oak misericord with a wiggly serpent shaped like a W with a tail added facing down to the left and its head with upward pointy ears and a humanoid face to the right. There are spines along its back. Photo Copyright Coralie Mills 2022
A rare pre-Reformation survival, a #medieval choir stall from Lincluden Collegiate Church nr Dumfries 🏴 is now in NMS. This #misericord has a serpent with webbed claws.
#Dendrochronology on the stall by Baillie revealed old growth native Scottish oak dated 1467 used, a rarity by then.

A happy new year to all!
Here's a #misericord from Malvern Abbey to celebrate, showing a man with two cups. One for the old year, and one for the new. 🥂
