Definition
Having the head or upper part resembling that of a man, particularly describing artistic depictions or mythological creatures.
Etymology
From Greek 'andros' (man) combined with 'kephale' (head). The term appears in classical and medieval art criticism to describe hybrid or composite creatures.
Kelly Says
Medieval manuscripts and tapestries often featured creatures with human heads and animal bodies—like satyrs or sphinxes—and androcephalous was the precise scientific term art historians used to catalog these chimeras.
