Scythian Griffin holding a stag head in its beak. From Pazyryk, Russian Altai mountains, 4th century B.C. Saint Petersburg, State Hermitage Museum. ***************************************************************************** This intimidating male headgear was found in the tomb of a Scythian chieftain in the Altai mountains in Siberia.

Griffins gedrag is vreemd en hij lijkt Genesis niet uitzonderlijk wreed te behandelen, terwijl hij dat wel met zijn broer doet.
