Image description: Sculpted stone architectural ornament of a rearing beast with human face on exterior wall of Magdalen College, University of Oxford, Oxford, (River Thames), Oxfordshire.

Magdalen College was founded in 1458 by William of Wayneflete on the site of a former Hospital of St John.

Despite the medieval appearance of this animal form, the sculpting appears Victorian.
