| The emblem of RCI
is the Minoan wingless Griffin. |
 |
Two wingless griffings are portrayed on the right and left of
the throne on the mural in the main throne hall of the Minoan
palace. The griffins are drawn wingless to emphasize on their
constant presence in the throne hall. The mixed form of the
wingless griffin represented the three spheres of the world,
the celestial, the terrestrial and the subterrestrial, with
its eagle head, lion body and snake tail. It also conveyed the
regal and divine power. |
