Hello mrsshapiro,

The representation which best fits Western ideas of Satan is that of
Baphomet/Goat of Mendes:

"Baphomet, the symbol of the satanic goat, usually portrayed as a half
human, half goat figure, or a goat head. It is often misinterpreted as
a symbol of witch-craft in general. It is used by Satanists, but is
not used by neo-pagan witches who do not worship the devil... Perhaps
the best-known representation of Baphomet is the drawing by the 19th
century French magician, Eliphas Levi, called "The Baphomet of
Mendes." Levi combined elements of the tarot devil card and the
he-goat worshipped in antiquity in Mendes, Egypt, which was said to
fornicate with its women followers ( as the church claimed the devil
did with witches)."
