Scarlet Quince BUR004 The Baleful Head by Edward Burne-Jones Counted Cross Stitch Chart- Regular Size Symbols

A counted cross stitch pattern of Perseus in armor showing the head of Medusa to Andromeda. Perseus rescued Andromeda from a sea monster to which she was being sacrificed and was promised her hand in marriage in return. However, Andromeda had previously been promised to someone else, who came with an army to claim her. Perseus turned the whole army to stone by showing them the head of Medusa the Gorgon, whom he had slain by looking only at her reflection. Here he shows the head to Andromeda by holding it up to be reflected in an elaborate marble well in an apple orchard. (Pre-Raphaelite, 1886-7) This pattern is solidly stitched. Any color fabric may be used.
