Paper mache "clay" (Google it) over a cardstock skeleton. Cardstock feathers and wings were added and wooden beads for the eyes. The whole thing was then covered in about 10 thin coats of diluted wood glue, sanded and gilded with gold foil.

An historic one would have been caved from wood (Sir Douglas made s beautiful one for Sir Humphrey here), or made of leather (stitched, moistened, and then filled with sand to dry. This shapes the leather). Embellishments made of gesso would have been added on and then the whole thing painted.

Sir Brian:
I modified mine from a wood carving done by special request of a wood carver that did predominately dragons...hence  the dragonish appearance of my griffon. ;)
