EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a Double Griffin from a capital, dating back to the Achaemenian period in ancient Persia. Carved out of stone by skilled artisans during the Achaemenid era (550-330 BC), this remarkable sculpture was discovered in Persepolis, Iran. The intricate details and lifelike features of these mythical creatures are truly awe-inspiring. With two heads and bird-like bodies, griffins were revered as powerful symbols of protection and guardianship in Persian mythology. The capitals on which they stand add an extra layer of grandeur to their presence. The Double Griffin is believed to represent the Homa or Huma, a legendary creature associated with fortune and prosperity. Its significance in Persian culture cannot be overstated, making this artwork an invaluable piece of history. Captured by Bridgeman Images, this photograph preserves every nuance and texture of the original sculpture. As it is now out of copyright, we have the privilege to appreciate its beauty without any restrictions. Whether you are fascinated by ancient civilizations or simply captivated by mythical creatures, this Double Griffin from a capital will undoubtedly leave you mesmerized. It serves as a testament to the rich artistic heritage that thrived during the Achaemenian period in Persia – an era that continues to inspire us today.
