This is a medieval illustration of a griffin, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. The griffin is depicted in profile, standing on a patch of green grass. It has a feathered body, a beak, and a stern expression. The background is a vibrant red, and there are stylized green plants flanking the griffin. The entire image is framed by a decorative border in shades of blue and red. The style is characteristic of illuminated manuscripts, with bold lines and flat colors. There is some damage to the upper left corner of the image, with visible wear and tear.
