The leonine, human-headed monster crouching on her bent hind legs, the forelegs extended, her sickle-shaped wings rounded at the tips and incised with layered feathers, with two rows of teats along her curving underside, her center-parted hair pulled back in a crescentic diadem, with two tendrils falling along each shoulder, a necklace with diamond-shaped pendants chased across her chest, on an integral base
