Qasr mosaic leopard and VMS Leo/August image
#88
I think the tongue is meant as a beak (isn't it?) but my conclusion is the same as yours: it can easily be mistaken or interpreted as a feline's tongue, and the VM feline has clearly been influenced by an image like this one. Leaving aside whether the reinterpretation was accidental or a conscious blending of forms.
