A griffin head with an open beak and long pointed ears, with a disc and spike 'crest' adorning his brow.

Mythical griffins had powerful wings, the body of a lion and the beak of an eagle, and were guardians of god's Apollo treasure and god's Dionysos wine
Symbol of wealth and prosperity and guardian of prized possessions. This is a reproduction of an original dating to the 7th century BC which is currently in the museum at Olympia in the Western Peloponnese.

Another is on display in the Met, New York.

Griffins were sacred to Apollo, whose treasure they guarded, they are also associated with Dionysos as the guardians of his ever-flowing supply of wine.

Bronze cauldrons set on tripods or conical stands were among the most spectacular votive gifts dedicated in Greek sanctuaries from the eighth to the sixth centuries B.C.

Cast bronze griffins' heads often decorated the rims of the bowls.
