Gryphon ceramic relief handpainted tile

Ceramic handpainted relief tile featuring a mythological creature Gryphon. According to legends, old Slavic symbols on the tiles will protect you from harm and will bring luck. ✨ The griffin, gryphon, or griffon, is a legendary creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. As the lion was traditionally considered the king of the beasts and the eagle was the king of the birds, the griffin was thought to be an especially powerful and majestic creature. We produce each tile by hand-pressing white earthenware clay into a plaster mold cast from our original hand-sculpted design based on the collections of 15th–17th-century Russian decorative tiles from Yaroslavl, Pskov, Moscow, Novgorod, Smolensk, Vladimir and Suzdal. This tile has its origin in the ancient Russian city of Yaroslavl. ✨ Majolica art is very popular in Russia. In the old days, Russian stoves were decorated with ceramic tiles.
