The winged lion is a Venetian symbol of royalty. The closest match I can find is the griffin or griffon - a mythical creature that is part eagle, part lion. However, it would be a lion with wings *and* the head of an eagle. It's a manticore. They can have wings, bat wings or bird wings. They have scorpion or dragon tail. Often depicted with human face. In some cases they are called wyverns, but this is a mistake in nominclature as wyverns are members of the dragon family.
Probably the sphinx. It has the body of a lion, the face of a woman, wings, and a penchant for telling riddles.
