SCP Orientation is an archive of files of the SCP Foundation.



Today we will be studying Item number SCP-645: Mouth of Truth, Object class: Euclid.


 
SCP-645 is a large disk of Pavonazzetto marble with a humanoid face carved into it, similar to the famous Bocca della Verità carving in the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin in Rome, Italy. As with the Bocca carving, the mouth and eyes are empty holes; unlike with the Bocca carving, however, subjects who place their hands inside SCP-645's mouth describe it as 'warm' and 'moist'.
 
SCP-645 embodies, and has been hypothesized by Foundation folklorists to be the origin of, the lie-detection properties attributed to the Bocca carving since medieval times: any subject who tells a lie while their hand is within the carving's mouth will activate the carving, which will then bite off the subject's hand at the wrist and swallow it.
