Leogryph
Bronze sculpture of a mythical creature with the body of a goat and the head of an eagle, titled "Leogryph" by an unknown artist. The sculpture depicts the creature standing on its hind legs. The body of the creature appears goat-like with a short tail and a band around its waist. Its front legs are bent at the elbow and held close to its body. The head and neck of the creature appear more eagle-like with a curved beak and a tuft of feathers on top of its head. The sculpture appears to be made of dark brown metal with a weathered texture. The background is a plain gray color. The sculpture stands on a rectangular black base.
