Acacia Griffins are public artworks by American sculptor Edmond Amateis, located at the Acacia Building at 51 Louisiana Avenue N.W., in Washington, D.C., United States. ==Description==
A limestone male (right) and female (left) griffin guard the outside entrance of the building. The griffins each hold an agate egg between their paws, symbolic of the protection of their home. Like the building they were designed in the Neoclassical. The sculptures were carved by Ugo Lavaggi.〔〔Goode, John ''Washington Sculpture''. The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008, p. 17.〕
