One of the (59!) romanesque capitals in the cathedral St. Maurice, carved late 12th century shows this "Luxuria". The symbol of one of the seven deadly sins (greed, lust, gluttony) shows a woman breastfeeding animals (mostly snakes). Often she is acompanied by a devil. Here the artists mixed both figures together (see the three horns on her head). And this Luxuria (whose joints seem to be very flexibel), is very symetric. Even the two snakes (note their faces) form similar spirals on both sides. The face is pretty wide - and her look seems frozen or petrified.
Here are some more Luxurias:
