Fresco showing winged creature; probably a griffin. The Pompeians used the griffin in their murals, but this mythical creature goes back thousands of years, to India, Assyria and Persia. The creature is basically the combination of an eagle and a lion. The head and front of the body — including the front legs and wings — are represented by an eagle. In addition, the eagle head features long ears that are sometimes feathered. The rest of the body belongs to a lion. Altogether, the creature symbolizes strength and wisdom. Because the griffin traditionally guards treasure, he also symbolizes vengeance.
