Product Description

The Griffin is a legendary creature with the head and wings of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the tail of a serpent or scorpion. Its origin lies somewhere in the Middle East, where it is found in the paintings and sculptures of the ancient Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. In Greek mythology, they belonged to Zeus. The later Romans used them for decoration and even in Christian times, the Griffin motif often appears, frequently used as gargoyles on medieval churches and buildings.

This solid bronze figure is a detailed reproduction of an ancient Griffin bust from Olympia—the home of the Olympic Games— which was originally attached to a bronze kettle. Dated to 600 BCE, the original currently resides in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
