Commentary for Avodah Zarah 86:11
והא רב יהודה דאחרים עשו לו וא"ל שמואל לרב יהודה שיננא סמי עיניה דדין
But there is the case of R. Judah for whom others made [a design on a seal], and Shmuel said to him, Toothy one! Blind its eyes!”
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
People made a seal with the imprint of a face for R. Judah. Shmuel mocked R. Judah and told him to disfigure the seal. This proves that even if others make the image, it is still prohibited.
