Griffin Shield Pendant
|
|||||||||
|
This mighty creature from Greek Mythology which has the body of a lion and the wings and head of an eagle, takes a striking pose inside this appalling shield pendant. The Griffin is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head, with upstanding ear-tufts, and wings of an eagle: as the lion was considered the "King of the Beasts" and the eagle the "King of the Air", the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. The griffin is generally represented with four legs, wings and a beak, with eagle-like talons in place of a lion's forelegs and feathered, equine-like ears jutting from its skull. Some writers describe the tail as a serpent, in the manner of a chimera. |
