Guardian Griffin

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Guardian Griffin by E. Boyd is a sculpture with a reddish-brown color. The Griffin is depicted lying down with its head up, facing right. Its body resembles a lion with a large beak, and it has one wing visible on its back. The sculpture appears to be made of clay or terracotta and exhibits signs of aging with visible cracks and imperfections. The Griffin's facial expression is calm, and it seems to be gazing into the distance. At the base of the sculpture, there is a smaller creature, possibly a cub or another animal, lying underneath the Griffin. The sculpture is displayed on a gray pedestal against a dark background.
