פירוש על עבודה זרה 85:19
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
If the middle clause deals with making them, then the last clause should as well. But this is again a problem. The last clause would prohibit making the image of a dragon, but according to another baraita, making an image of god is prohibited, not the image of a dragon.
Therefore, this section must refer to finding. One can keep utensils unless they have on them with image of the sun, moon or dragon.
Now, in conclusion the first and third clauses of the baraita refer to finding vessels with these images on them, whereas the third clause prohibits making vessels with these images on them. This seems to be a strange structure for a baraita, and therefore this is one long extended difficulty.
