SCYTHIAN GILDED MEDALLION DEPICTING A GRIFFIN WITH INLAID EYES
Ca. 600 - 300 BC.
A Scythian gold gilded bronze medallion depicting a griffin. The griffin is depicted in a naturalistic manner facing left in a flat frame. In Achaemenid art, griffins were commonly depicted as guardians or protectors, often adorning the thrones, palaces, and ceremonial regalia of Persian rulers. These mythical creatures were believed to possess attributes of both lions and eagles, symbolising the king's dominion over both the terrestrial and celestial realms.
