He Is Trash

Here we see a piece of trash being treated, quite rightly, like the trash that he is. The prisoner-slave in the stocks is having to kiss the boot of a beautiful and superior young woman who has just emptied the contents of her trash bucket onto the top of his humble head.

Meanwhile, a Japanese couple are adding to the slave’s public humiliation by mocking him. The man is pointing at him and laughing at him, whilst the man’s girlfriend is resting her dainty, outstretched foot on the small of the dirty slave’s, presumably sore and whipped, back. She too is laughing at him, but is also disgusted by his smell – given that he is not only covered in trash, but has been confined in these low-lying stocks in the dirt for months. See how his body is covered in the boot and shoe dirt of his betters as, like the young woman in the picture, people have literally walked all over him!

Finally, to add further insult to injury, an elderly, bearded freemale is laughing heartily at the slave from the comfort of a nearby viewing gallery. The elderly man is so glad heis not a slave subject to the capricious whims of young women – never has been and never will be. What do you think he is shouting down at the slave amidst his raucous laughter?

To be clear, this slave has committed no crime. He merely had the misfortune to be born a slave, and is thus a fitting inhabitant of the public stocks and a figure ripe for mocking; a piece of trash!
