The sculpture's vertical orientation adds to its imposing presence, while its vibrant, golden-brown patina lends an air of timelessness and mystery. 4. The griffin's intricate details reveal the masterful craftsmanship of the artisan who created it.

The creature's body is adorned with intricate geometric patterns, a hallmark of Islamic art. 5. This bronze griffin, a proud inhabitant of the Pisa Cathedral Works Museum, offers a glimpse into the complex history of Islamic art in Italy.
