Medusa Head of Snakes Gothic Wall Plaque Décor Statue Bronze Finish 7.28 inches

In Greek mythology Medusa was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as a winged human female with a hideous face and living venomous snakes in place of hair. Gazers on her face would turn to stone. Medusa was beheaded by the hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion. Veronese Design – Incredible DetailDimensions (approximately):Height : 18.5 cm (7.28 inches)Width: 11.5 cm (4.52 inches) Net Weight: 515 gr (4.8 lb) Material: Cold Cast Bronze & ResinMADE OF HIGH QUALITY HEAVY ART COLD CAST RESIN & BRONZE POWDER.
