Commentary for Avodah Zarah 85:18
אמר אביי
Abaye explained:
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Abaye explains that the only of God’s attendants that one may not make is the four-faced creatures (human, lion, eagle, ox) of the Divine chariot (see Ezekiel, chapter one). Any other image can be made, including the moon.

Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Introduction
Yesterday’s section concluded by justifying Rabban Gamaliel’s moon images by saying that he did not make them, someone made them for him, so it is okay. Today’s section questions whether it is allowed to use images that someone else made.
