To the left of the rows is an odd figure identified as a Trojan Palladium by Schliemann. The original was found in Grave Circle A. Another electrotype shows two winged griffins back to back facing each other. The original was found in a chamber tomb at Mycenae. The stone reproduction is of a jasper original with a man holding a lion in each of his outstretched arms. The original was found in a chamber tomb at Mycenae.
