This captivating octagonal terracotta plaque features the powerful image of Medusa, the mythological Gorgon whose gaze could turn men to stone. Rendered in a classic Greek style, the carving is deeply symbolic — associated with protection, transformation, and feminine strength in ancient myth.
With its weathered surface, bold relief carving, and earthy tones, this piece evokes the feeling of a long-lost artifact from a Mediterranean ruin. While the exact age is unknown, it carries the look and energy of an ancient talisman.
