Sea-Lion Hybrid
This fantastical creature combines a lion’s body with fish-like scales and gills, merging terrestrial and aquatic traits. Depicted on the Gundestrup Cauldron (150 BC–1 AD), it evokes themes of duality, power, and transformation. Such hybrids reflect Celtic spiritual cosmologies, possibly tied to the underworld or ritual rebirth.
