Still going through my 2010 Istanbul photos,
may as well add here
it was ok to take photos in the archeological museum,
I'd have enjoyed to draw, but there was just so much

I didn't always know who they were,
but am so glad they were saved - in fact are still
being found, buried beneath centuries of forgetting
hadn't seen these kind of wings before
the light was often poor, but click to enlarge
the Griffon had a very extensive territory..
from France to the Gobi desert;
lots of good information on the web.
