This porcelain sculpture, titled "Manticore," depicts a mythical creature with the body of a lion, the wings of a bat, and the tail of a scorpion. It is a white glazed figure painted in purple and gold. The creature is depicted with a mane, and it has a human face. While the Manticore appears in Persian art and literature, this sculpture was crafted in Vienna between 1730 and 1740. Today, it is part of the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
