Similar exotic winged beasts frequently appear as supports in Spanish furniture, for instance on a day bed in the Palacio de Pedralbes, Barcelona (illustrated in L. Feduchi, Colecciones Reales de Espana: El Mueble, Madrid, 1965, p. 438), or at the base of a commode in the Palacio de Truyols, Palma de Mallorca (illustrated in L. Feduchi, El Mueble Espanol, Barcelona, 1969, p. 242, fig. 231).
