Legend
It does not matter if something is good or bad, you must always be grateful. Meaning: Whatever the man says, the woman must not talk back and always show gratitude. The ironic aspect is important in this case. The small bifid element at the side of the hands is a type of collar meaning that once married, a woman is imprisoned and can no longer move.
