Male Griffin – Copper Patina – version 2

This is the Male Griffin in copper patina. This batch released on 3/4/14 looks a little different from the last batch, so we are calling it “version 2”.

These “rescue” griffins are pieces that had slight casting defects. Normally we would have destroyed these, but we have devised a way to make use of otherwise perfectly good griffins by painting them with a textured “distressed antique” finish that enhances the surface flaws with patina and makes them beautiful. A few random areas are highlighted with brighter gold, copper, or a hint of violet. We all think they are gorgeous; they look like weathered cast bronze. We have given this batch blue zircon jewels and teal eyes. These griffins vary slightly in texture and color because every one of these is an individual. They are unsigned limited production.

Introduced in this “version 2” of copper patina in 2014.  Historic Note:  “Male Griffins in Copper Patina version 2” labeled in 2014 and in 2022, plus a couple made in 2024, were accidentally not called “ver 2” on the label.

These are individually hand-painted and markings may vary very slightly.  You may find that different lighting displays the colors differently as well.  This is a cast gypsum reproduction of an original sculpture by Melody Peña produced by Windstone Editions.  For indoor display only.
