Description
This is the image of a hand carved Art Deco stone griffin circa 1925 from a doorway of the Adirondack Bank in downtown Utica, N.Y.
The griffin, griffon, or gryphon is a legendary creature with the body, tail, and back legs of a lion; the head and wings of an eagle; and sometimes an eagle's talons as its front feet. Because the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts, and the eagle the king of the birds, by the Middle Ages, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature.
