VENICE, ITALY - JULY 02, 2017: Detail from an old historical greek paint over a dish. Mythical heroes and gods fighting on it
This detailed mural painting is on an interior wall of the ancient Thai Buddhist temple of Wat Phra Sing, which is open daily to the public. The scene is interesting as it depicts ancient styles and costumes from hundreds of years the Thai ago that would have been the common look every day at that time.

Fresco showing winged creature; probably a griffin. The Pompeians used the griffin in their murals, but this mythical creature goes back thousands of years, to India, Assyria and Persia. The creature is basically the combination of an eagle and a lion. The head and front of the body — including the front legs and wings — are represented by an eagle. In addition, the eagle head features long ears that are sometimes feathered. The rest of the body belongs to a lion. Altogether, the creature symbolizes strength and wisdom. Because the griffin traditionally guards treasure, he also symbolizes vengeance.
