The “Pillar-biter” (Dutch: pilaarbijter), 1509–1517 — a rare late-Gothic satire carved on the lower choir/rood screen of St. Bavo Church in Haarlem.

The figure grips the column framing him and literally bites into it, his face twisted into a grimace, while a rosary on his belt hints at the message: a warning against excessive, performative piety and hypocrisy, looking devout in public, but acting differently at home.
