Buer.
Louis Breton, from "Dictionnaire infernal" by Jacques Collin de Plancy, Paris: 1863 #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/buer/

Depiction of Buer, rendered with a lion’s head and five legs splaying outward like spokes from a wheel. The author describes him as a second-rank demon and “president” of Hell. He instructs in philosophy, logic, and herbal medicine, while also promising loyal servants and cures for the sick. He has fifty legions under his command.
