Commentary for Avodah Zarah 84:14
מנקיט רב ששת חומרי מתנייתא ותני כל המזלות מותרין חוץ ממזל חמה ולבנה וכל הפרצופין מותרין חוץ מפרצוף אדם וכל הצורות מותרות חוץ מצורת דרקון
R. Sheshet used to gather passages related to the Mishnah and teach them: [Pictures of] all the planets are permissible except that of the sun and moon; of all faces are permissible except that of a human face; and of all figures are permissible except that of the dragon.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Sheshet here seems to be gathering material related to the Mishnah, although some translate this as gathering “difficulties” on the Mishnah. In any case, the three objects are the same as those in the Mishnah, and this baraita reads the three of them as being exclusive. Only these planets, faces and figures are forbidden. Others are permitted.
