Griffin Puppet

The griffin is a mythical creature with the wings and beak of an eagle, the body of a lion, and the ears of a horse. In Greek mythology, griffins are often slain by heroes. In the Middle Ages, the griffin’s dual nature was interpreted in various ways by Christian tradition: initially regarded as an incarnation of the devil, the griffin came to symbolize the dual nature of Christ.
The Griffon hand puppet from Folkmanis is a playful take on this mythical monster, featuring a fierce, movable beak, mesmerizing eyes, and large, movable wings. It has large claws set on a lion’s body with powerful hind legs and a long, bushy tail.
