    Archaeologists of the Tel Aviv University have unearthed a seal,
    measuring about a half-inch in diameter, which depicts a human
    figure next to a lion at the archaeological site of Beth Shemesh,
    located between the Biblical cities of Zorah and Eshtaol.

It realy does look like a long-haired man fighting some animal that
could well have a mane.

Tir'u baTov!
