Medusa the Gorgon, a iconic figure from Greek mythology, is one of the three Gorgon sisters, renowned for her hair made of snakes and a gaze that could turn men to stone. Historically, she appears in tales such as Hesiod’s Theogony (circa 1200 BCE) and Ovid’s Metamorphoses (8 CE), where she transforms from a beautiful maiden into a monstrous creature after being cursed by Athena. Slain by the hero Perseus, who used her head as a weapon, Medusa symbolizes both terror and protection—ancient Greeks often placed her image on shields and temples as an apotropaic charm to ward off evil.
This statue stands 3 ¾ inches tall
