Eagle head and wings atop a lion's powerful body create the griffin, guardian of treasures and symbol of divine power. This legendary creature appears in art from ancient Persia to medieval Europe, always representing strength, vigilance, and the combination of earthly and heavenly might. Griffins watched over gold and protected the innocent throughout mythology.

Majestic Hybrids

Our griffin collection showcases these noble creatures in various poses. Perched griffins survey their territories from rocky outcrops. Flying griffins soar with eagle wings spread wide and lion tails trailing. Guardian griffins crouch protectively over golden hoards. Heraldic griffins pose in the formal style seen on coats of arms and royal crests.

Feathers and Fur

Griffin anatomy presents interesting coloring decisions. Eagle portions typically feature brown, gold, or white feathers with sharp beaks and piercing eyes. Lion portions display tawny fur covering muscular hindquarters. Where feathers meet fur creates a unique transition zone. Some artistic interpretations add variations like different colored plumage or mane-like ruffs around griffin necks.

Legendary Protectors

Griffins guard castle gates in medieval scenes. Pairs of griffins flank thrones and doorways. Griffin mothers watch over eggs and chicks combining features of both parent animals. Ancient treasure rooms show griffins defending hoards against would-be thieves. The protective nature of griffins comes through in many contexts.
