Dave,
I see that Harold Hahn has interpreted the animal as a loin or wolf, but when you study the original plans closely, theres no back legs.
Looks like a serpent tail of some description.

It is really hard to tell what it actually is!!! The cool thing is, since we already drew up the Seahorse, we can make the Lion/Wolf as well and offer it either way!! I call this "Builder's Choice".....

i do not think it would be a seahorse because that is something very few people would have seen back in 1780s and not a common subject to show up in carvings.
For the most part there were lions tigers and bears oh my! foliage and hunting, mythical figures and gods
or it might be a Hippocamp

Dave, I reckon you have nailed it. Well done.
What's the difference between a Hippocamp and a Seahorse??? LOL
Hippocampus (mythology) - Wikipedia
Excellent work gentlemen. I think that the Hippocampus is the correct figure.
Mike, I reckon you could add fish scales to the lower body like the picture below.

a seahorse is a real thing a hippocamp is a mythical creature and it has front legs where a seahorse does not
but i think hippocamp is Greek for seahorse

on Bell island in the Detroit river there is a marble fountain. This structure is huge and consists of two levels
there are a lot of carvings all over the fountain and one of them is a loin type of hippocamp
i am thinking because this is a mythical animal it can be pretty much anything the artist wants it to be. In this case there is the head of a lion, front legs of a horse, wings of a bird and tail of ?

So Dave, what's the verdict ? A hippocampus or a lion ?
Hippocamp, my error.
