And, interestingly, coming on the heels of my recent exchange with Gondola concerning "The Ancestor", this (skeletal) cervinoid (fleshly) human is female. Bone is a stony component of animals, we have here a deer skull, and "Grim Stone" speaks to that, as well as the eerie quality of the image. Eerie too was our other notable "skeletal humanoid deer creature," which, on day one, I speculated was male in contradistinction to an accompanying female image. That skeletal cervinoid man was "skeletal and nothin' but;" this woman with a cervinoid skull is mostly "flesh and blood," as we say--that is echoed by "rhythm and blood." There's another ad below this of the Grim Stone vintage; I can't make out the picture, yet note the fleur-de-lis.
(Incidentally, I thought Tottenham Hotspur took its name from the song, "When the Spurs Go Marching In.")
A grim stone would link also to the concept and imagery of a Reaper, one kind said to be pretty Grim.
Soup could be a potential link to the comment I just left on Blood and Vampires. The word means, per Etymonline, "liquid food". Blood is liquid food for vampires.
