Description Medusa Mask Gorgon Serpent Monster Snake Lady Bronze Finish Cold Cast 7.2 Inches Height: 7.2 inches (18.5 cm) Weight: 1.26 lbs (573 gr) In Greek mythology, Medusa (/mɪˈdjuːzə, -sə/; Μέδουσα ‘guardian, protectress’) was a monster, a Gorgon, generally described as a winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Those who gazed upon her face would turn to stone. Most sources describe her as the daughter of Phorcys and Ceto, though the author Hyginus makes her the daughter of Gorgon and Ceto. According to Hesiod and Aeschylus, she lived and died on an island named Sarpedon, somewhere near Cisthene. The 2nd-century BCE novelist Dionysios Skytobrachion puts her somewhere in Libya, where Herodotus had said the Berbers originated her myth, as part of their religion. 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. Material: Cold Cast Bronze & Resin MADE OF HIGH QUALITY HEAVY ART COLD CAST RESIN & BRONZE POWDER. THE SURFACE IS COATED WITH A LAYER OF BRONZE. Cold Cast Bronze figures are heavy, detailed, little shinier than 100% metals, and they actually look better than solid bronze. This new material is a fantastic compromise that keeps the beauty, substantial weight and quality, and detail of bronze while keeping replicas affordable. Bronze and resin are the most common materials for realistic figurines. Terms of Sale Return Policy Customers must inspect item(s) and notify us within 14 days of any problems.
