Description A paraphrase (manga style) of Gustav Klimt's Judith II

Since last year I've been in love with Gustav Klimt and his beatiful Art Noveau style and we were paraphrasing last week in art class...so I got inspired this afternoon ^^

"In summary, Judith, a beautiful widow and chosen by God, used her charms to enter the tent of Holofernes, an Assyrian general out to destroy Judith's hometown. Overcome with drink, he passes out and is decapitated by Judith; his head is taken away out in a basket." - Wikipedia

Is that a cauldron? I like the fabric folds.

First I thought it was fabric in the Original, but then I read the whole background story and it was supposed to be a basket...so it's a pot? XD I really have no idea..Thanks! <3
