Medusa the Greek Snake Haired Gorgon Wall Sculpture - Stay on her good side or the Greek goddess Medusa will turn you into stone! Though Athena punished Medusa with hair of writhing snakes for going against her priestess vows and marrying Poseidon, Medusa turned curse into advantage by exhibiting a power that now makes her a symbol of potent female mysteries and sovereign wisdom. Our artisans sculpted this gorgon with amazing textural detail before casting her in designer resin and hand painting Medusa in dramatic faux ebony basalt and antique gold.
