Image caption
illustrates the leontocephaline figures found in Mithraic temples: lion-headed figures with naked human body entwined with a serpent, (two or) four wings, and holding one or two keys and a staff or sword.
Manly Hall quotes Franz Cumont and relates this symbol to boundless time and the victory over time and the god Aion or Kronos. Compare also with depictions of Phanes (such as in the Estense Gallery in Modena, Italy) showing a winged human body encircled by a serpent and holding a staff.
