Gryphon ' Guardian of Treasures: Slate Bas Relief 3m x 2m
· As a Symbol of the Northern Bank, this fabulous mythological beast with the head wings and talons of an eagle is expressed in its heraldic form. In this commission, the design harks back to a more traditional form whereby the powerful combined powers of the Eagle and the Lion are intertwined to produce a being of intense potency.
