It's a miniature for the winged lions that guard the New King's palace up on Slate Hill! A lot of the older people at your shul seem like they hated the short war a couple decades ago--which started when the New King was one of the first to realize angels could give them a tactical advantage and not just tell divine secrets--but you think it's awesome that it happened just in time for your master to make their name designing large parts of the new palace! That's why your master is rich enough to get a source interpreter in the first place. And, well, you figure war can't be all setting fire to barricades and forcing unwilling citizens to shelter you in their homes. You're certain that somewhere in there were some cool knights rescuing people in distress. Absolutely certain!
