Griffin Pedestal
Special Edition
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 below
two sculptures of griffins from Persepolis and Susa).
