SCHARMINKEL: „Scharminkel. Een mager monster met de deugdzame vrouw genaamd ‚Engeltgen‘ in de bek. Het beest blijft mager omdat het alleen vrome en deugdzame vrouwen eet.“
The Scharminkel is a skinny monster with the virtuous woman named ‚Engeltgen‘ in its mouth. The beast remains skinny because it only eats pious and virtuous women (1650).

In Japan, teeth blackening is known as ohaguro (お歯黒). The tradition was practiced until around 1911. To blacken their teeth women used a dye of sumac-leaf gall, sake and iron. At the time women wore chalky white make up. At night, by candlelight, as in the case of geisha, a woman’s face glimmered magically. A common belief was that blackened teeth differentiated humans from animals.
