Fresco showing winged creature; probably a griffin. The Pompeians used the griffin in their murals, but this mythical creature goes back thousands of years, to India, Assyria and Persia. The creature is basically the combination of an eagle and a lion. The head and front of the body — including the front legs and wings — are represented by an eagle.
