Griffin Pedestal
The griffin (also spelt gryphon, griffon or gryphin) is
a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the
head of an eagle with the addition of prominent
ears. The female has the wings of an eagle. The
male (known as a keythong) has projecting spikes
instead of wings and is less frequently depicted.
In the artwork of ancient Persia, as well as in the
artwork of other parts of the ancient world from
Scythia to Macedonia and Greece, the Griffin has
special place (see the two sculptures of griffins
from Persepolis and Susa).
Here shown are the pedestal and detail of the head
of the griffin. Cast stone, hand-finished in antique
finish.
Item No. 182
Weight 95 Lb.
Dimensions W: 8.5" H: 32.75" D: 15"
