Item Details

Description

**Originally Listed At $200**

Western Europe, Neoclassical period, ca. 19th century CE. A beautiful carnelian intaglio featuring a griffin - a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle - striding left. The griffin was a fierce symbol of divine strength. The tradition was long lasting - we know of examples from ancient Iran and Egypt that are from ca. 3000 BCE - and the animal continued to appear in classically-inspired art into the early modern period as symbols of power and protection. According to Graeco-Roman mythology, griffins lived in the Riphaean Mountains of Scythia and guarded rich gold deposits. Size of intaglio: 1" L x 0.75" W (2.5 cm x 1.9 cm); of Riker case: 3" L x 2.5" W x 0.5" H (7.6 cm x 6.4 cm x 1.3 cm)
