The mythological Griffin has a body of a lion with head and wings of an eagle.  Folklore suggests that Griffins built their nests of gold gathered from the mountains.   They guarded the precious nests vigilantly from thieves. I envision this as the perfect creature to protect the ruler of a Kingdom. In this sculpture, the Griffin steps in between the King and his attacker just in time.  I imagine the King's Guard being startled by an enemy, causing his scepter to fall to the ground.
