A Cherub.

 

Cherubim have four faces: one of a man, an ox, a lion and an eagle. They have four conjoined wings covered with eyes, a lions body figure, and they have ox’s feet. Cherubim guard the way to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24) and the throne of God. (Ezekiel 28:14-16)

 

The Cherubim are mentioned in Genesis 3:24, Exodus 25:17-22; 2 Chronicles 3:7-14; Ezekiel 10:12-14, 28:14-16; Kings 6:23-28, and Revelations 4:6-8.

 

Modern English usage has blurred the distinction between Cherubim and Putti.

Putti are the winged human baby/ toddler-like beings traditionally used in figurative art.

 

St. Thomas Aquinas imagined Satan as a fallen Cherub.
