Historical Context
Griffins combine eagle and lion anatomy in ancient and medieval art. Medieval bestiaries described powerful creatures capable of carrying people or oxen, while court and church objects could use them protectively. This isolated wing seal is a contemporary abstraction.
Provenance: Modern wing emblem informed by medieval griffin descriptions and protective reception.
Context note: Griffin traditions span several cultures, so the selected European bestiary evidence is not treated as the creature's sole origin.
