Ebros Greek Mythology Severed Head of Goddess Medusa with Snake Hairs Hanging from Perseus Hand Wall Decor Plaque Statue 12.25" Tall Cursed Gorgon Sisters Gothic Gargoyle Thought Provoking Accent

Medusa was one of the Gorgon sisters, cursed into a monster by Athena. Her once beautiful golden curly locks of hair were turned into ever evolving venomous snakes. Her adoring eyes turned bloodshot and with a stare into a mortal's soul she turns them to stone. Medusa's fate is sealed at the hands of Perseus who defeated her with the polished shield of Athena and Hermes' winged sandals. This sculpture is thought provoking, creepy and mesmerizing at the same time. Perseus' hand protrudes from the celtic knotwork wrought round shield, grabbing medusa's snake hairs by the bunch. Medusa's eyes are shut and her countenance serene and peaceful for the first time since she was cursed by Athena. The snakes at her hairline are still ferocious, hissing and baring their fangs. Her head is severed at the neckline, which is where the sculpture ends.
