If the lion's head needs an additional descriptor, I think it would
probably be couped, as erased means that it is essentially a
silohuette, and Kylan's artwork showed detail in the lion's features.

I know that there are some charges that it works for, and others that
it does not, but I can't remember the rule off-hand, and don't even
remember where I read it. For that matter, I may just be imagining
it. Sometimes reality seems very malleable. :-)
