Female Warriors & Mythical Creatures

Here I am submitting two photos of sculptures of female warriors. The first one is sculpted there in the Brahmeswar temple wall and the second one is it's replica made of buffalo horn. Have a look.. and never forget to read the attached articles on the Brahmeswar temple as well as on the fading glory of horn artisans of our state. (Brahmeshwar Temple at Bhubaneshwar is atleast a thousand years old Hindu temple devoted to Lord Shiva . The Sculptures found here differ in size from a thumb size to lifesize figures. It is lavishly carved all around. Most probably there was no gender bias during that time. You can have a glance at the following sculptures. You can see the male and female warriors as well. Were they capable of domesticating lions and were using those lions during wars ??? I don't expect it to be a complete lion because the hindlimbs appear to be a little bigger as that of a pony. May be a mythical creature.
