EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plaque depicting a Griffin attacking a Horse, crafted with intricate details in gold and turquoise. The artwork is attributed to the Scythian civilization and can be found at the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia. The image captures the intense moment of this ancient battle between two powerful creatures. The Griffin, known for its legendary strength and ferocity, lunges towards the horse with its sharp claws extended. The horse appears startled and tries to defend itself against this formidable predator. The use of gold and turquoise adds an exquisite touch to the plaque, highlighting the craftsmanship of the Scythian artisans who created it. Every line and curve on this metalwork artifact reflects their skillful mastery. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era where wild animals roamed freely and humans had to navigate their encounters with them. This plaque serves as a reminder of our primal instincts and our eternal fascination with nature's untamed beauty. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this ornamental masterpiece through their photography expertise, allowing us to appreciate every detail from afar. This print is not only visually striking but also holds historical significance as it preserves an important artifact from ancient times.
