This print showcases a magnificent Bronze griffin, an exquisite example of Fatimite art. Nestled within the Camposanto of Pisa, this Islamic sculpture emanates a timeless beauty that transports us to the first and second millennium A. D. in Africa.

With its regal posture and majestic wings outstretched, the griffin stands as a symbol of power and mythical allure. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment, inviting us to delve into the realms of literature and fiction where such fanciful animals often roam.
