Serpopard

"Serpopard" is a modern term for a mythical animal known from Ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian art. The word ''"serpopard"'' is a portmanteau of "serpent" and "leopard", derived from the interpretation that the creature represents a combination of the two animals, featuring the body of the latter, and a long neck and head representing the former. However, they have also been interpreted as "serpent-necked lions". There is no known name for the creature in any ancient texts.
==Images==
The image is featured specifically on decorated cosmetic palettes from the Pre-Dynastic Period of Egypt, and more extensively, as design motifs on cylinder seals in the Protoliterate Period of Mesopotamia (circa 3500-3000 BC). Examples include the Narmer Palette and the Small Palette of Nekhen (Hierakonopolis). The cylinder seal displayed to the right displays the motif very clearly. Typically two creatures are depicted, with their necks intertwined.
