Round Stone Sink with Griffins - YGA00365
Stone Sink, Stone Griffins, Japanese Lantern
Round stone sink with three griffins. Tall Japanese lantern in the background.
Robin was given the round sink by a friend, and his stonemason used three of the griffins to support it. Unfortunately two griffins were stolen in 2004, the third is now in the Paved Garden.
