Sculpted by the skilled hands of Colorado artist Jim Walton, This gryphon (griffin) ring is masterful!  The griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. Also  for known for guarding treasure, in antiquity it was a symbol of divine power and a guardian of the divine. Being a union of a terrestrial beast and an aerial bird, it was seen in Christianity to be a symbol of Jesus Christ, who was both human and divine. Note; This is a solid piece!
