The right-hand side of the doorway,
with hellish beasts on the right.

A corbel at Mailhat (Puy-de-Dôme) showing a person with a moneybag
who seems to be a rogue monk.

From the same church a figure of the eternal punishment of Luxuria,
the Licentiousness of the Rich.
A tongue-sticking, possibly-hermaphrodite, chained devil
on one of the three West Doors of Notre-Dame de Paris.
Note that he is sitting on a pope, a wealthy cardinal, and a king.
A fine capital at Cunault (Maine-et-Loire) showing a devil claiming
a king or prince with impressive moneybag.

And an amazing depiction of the subject at Tarragona in Spain, which links
this motif with tongue-stickers,
mouth-pullers and Gorgons.
The theme of wealth, greed, and ungenerosity features large
on the left side of the famous portal at Moissac (Tarn-et-Garonne).
Below the most descriptive of all the depictions of the parable of Dives
and Lazarus
is this panel. On the left, a tongue-sticking demon sits on the shoulders of
a rich, beautifully-dressed aristocrat seated on a chair
and holding a large bag (grey with white staining). The devil's talons grip
his forehead.
On the right - Scene 2 - another devil sits on his shoulders while gripping
the bag.
The rich., vainglorious man is now a pauper and will be a pauper in Hell.
High above the portal and the Last Judgement stands a bearded archangel sounding
the Last Trump,
while below him, on the corbel-table, one person claps his hand to his ear
and sticks his finger in his mouth.
