Description

The griffin was envisioned by the nomadic peoples of Eurasia as a mythological creature combining the features of a lion and an eagle, symbolizing the unity of the forces of earth and sky. This mythical animal acted as a guardian of sacred values ​​and a symbol of military valor, power, and solar energy, which was reflected in the nomadic “animal style”—on gold, weapons, horse harnesses, and ritual objects, where the griffin had totemic significance.
