Item Details

Description

Roman, Imperial period, ca. 1st to 3rd century CE. A mesmerizing cast bronze applique in the form of the head of a gorgon, probably Medusa. In this example, she has a pouting, almost childlike face, that gives her a sinister air beneath her curling and swirling snake-like hair. The head is presented as if in front of a column, with two boss-like volutes at its top. Below her chin is a flourish. Medusa, most famous of the three gorgons (human women with venomous snakes for hair) is from the Classical world of mythology. The concept of the gorgon, a frightening, beast-like, female creature, is at least as old as Homer and continued to be used as a monstrous symbol throughout the Roman period, especially popular as decoration on pottery. Size: 1.8" W x 2.75" H (4.6 cm x 7 cm); 3.95" H (10 cm) on included custom stand.
