Griffon Payful

I explored how ancient Greeks might have imagined the griffin, considering everything from fossils to legends like the Amazons. There's even talk of griffin-like creatures in ancient Mesopotamia. One story I found especially intriguing was about the nomadic tribes of northern Kazakhstan, as described by Herodotus. These people, including the Pazyryk folks, left behind no written records, but their tattoos featuring griffins and other creatures speak volumes about their culture. "Griffon Playful" is my way of honoring their legacy and the beauty of their artistry inspired by their stunning surroundings.
