There are certain things in life one doesn't need to know about. Take Griffins, for instance. The Griffin is a monster-like creature with the body of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and a back covered with feathers. In early mythical times, Griffins would find gold in the mountains and build their nests with it. They would lay precious agates instead of eggs, making their nests very tempting to the Arimaspians, a one-eyed people of Scythia (now southern Russia) amongst whom the Griffins lived. Vigilance and strength are their hallmarks. Attentive, alert and protective, they are said to coexist with us today, carefully watching and guarding against all danger, keeping evil spirits away. Now, aren't you glad you know about Griffins? One of the most beautiful reproduction tampers in our menagerie. "Detailed" hardly begins to describe it. The original was in sterling silver; our 2 3/4" tall version is cast in solid pewter and hand finished. It is priced slightly higher than our other tampers, due to the time and effort devoted during manufacturing (and to the agate eggs it may provide you with).
