Ivory figure of a griffin-headed demon, Urartian, from Toprakkale in eastern Anatolia, 8th - 7th BCE. This figure may have been part of a throne, since griffin-headed demons were protective deities. Toprakkale had a fortified citadel with a major temple of the god Haldi. Urartu disappeared before 600 BCE, possibly destroyed by horse-born Scythians. ANE, 118951.
