Item Details

Description

Greece, Archaic Period, ca. 600 to 500 BCE. A charming miniature cast bronze griffin, shown standing, with a somewhat abstract body. The griffin head is fierce, with pointed ears, large eyes, and a down-curved beak emphasized. The body is long and curved, with two nubbin projections serving as legs. A long, upwardly-curved wing rests along the back. The body is heavily incised to create the impression of feathers and fur. The griffin, half eagle and half lion, was a fierce symbol of divine power. 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. Size: 1.35" W x 1.15" H (3.4 cm x 2.9 cm)
