Art of Samson and other historic or mythological figures drugging their pets.

TBH, this is an excuse to dig through art archives and find neat works of art to post that are vaguely related to the topic.

Image description: Item is an unglazed terra cotta tire. It looks a bit dirty or sooty, but is clearly still yellow-tan. It depicts a 3d scene of a man with long hair, a hat with big feather, and tunic. The man is sitting on a lion and holding open a lion's mouth. Behind the man and lion is a stone (or brick) wall about waist high. Above it is an archway. Outside the archway is a floral decoration.
