Drawing of Two Confronted Griffons
Black and white drawing of two confronted griffins by Nicholas Roerich. The drawing is in a rectangular frame with a dark border. Two griffins are drawn facing each other, their bodies covered in small circles. Each griffin has a long neck, a beak-like nose, large eyes, two small ears on top of its head, and a black stripe around its neck. The griffins have large wings with feather edges and long tails. They have two claws on each foot. The background is white with scattered circles and two flower-like shapes. The circles vary in size and some have a dark outer ring. The flower-like shapes have a white center and dark spots. The drawing is symmetrical.
