A benign chimera, this monster, half woman and half bird, is carrying drinking equipment and appears to be sucking a refreshing liquid through an orange straw, On top of her head is a small crest consisting of a single curl. Her tall, bird’s tail and her large wings contrast strikingly with her womanly legs and feet. As far as one can see, her left hand has four long, white claws.
