This is a stone statue from Armagh, Ulster, Ireland, (pre-christian / pre- 5th c.). It represents a man with a lion's head. It was discovered and first recorded during the reconstruction of the Armagh cathedral in the late 19th century. The man with a lion's head is a very strange image indeed. But this carved slab from the Armagh cathedral is not the only representation of this image found in nothern Europe. Many statues depicting the same man with the lion's head were discovered in the mid 18th century in the Slavic area of the South Baltic, in Pomerania, Pomorje, Fomorie...
Who is this strange figure? I believe that this is a representation of the sun at its most powerful, at the beginning of August, In the middle of Leo zodiac sign, during the week of Crom Dubh, Hromi Daba, Grom Div, The thundering sun giant. It could also just be the oldest codified sculptural representation of a deity, which survived unchanged since the upper paleolithic. I also believe that this deity was developed and preserved by R population (R1a R1b)...
