The image looked to be from a party in the early 90s, in which Madonna wore a polka-dotted blouse and held a slice of birthday cake along with a long knife.

The blonde beauty was seen in profile, with her tongue out as she licked the utensil suggestively.

The notation written next to the photograph read, 'I would entertain myself with parties while he was away. Here I am showing off one of my best assets.'

While it wasn’t immediately clear who exactly 'he' referred to, Madonna has been linked to several famous suitors through the early 90s: Tupac Shakur, Dennis Rodman and Warren Beatty were just three of them.

Another clue helping to date the photo was in the caption she included in the post, which read '…It’s good to keep journals!'

The mother of six added the hashtag #dita, which references her unofficial alter-ego from her 1992 album Erotica and envelope-pushing picture book Sex, published around the same time.
