[MMA Griffin Griffin pin] Griffin from the Metropolitan Museum of Arts, the Griffin is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. Lions and eagles belong to the kings of land and sky respectively, so griffins are regarded as symbols of strength and nobility. As early as the ancient Egyptian period, griffins have been described as sacred guardians. In modern times, the griffin is used as the symbol of the Philadelphia Museum of Art in the United States because of its guardian image. Bronze castings of griffins can be seen in every corner of the museum’s roof. In addition, griffons can often be seen in the coats of arms of the royal family and nobility.
