Escultura de la diosa mitológica Medusa.
Dimensiones máximas de altura y a la proporción de su ancho.

Era un monstruo ctónico femenino, que convertía en piedra a aquellos que la miraban fijamente a los ojos. Fue decapitada por Perseo, quien después usó su cabeza como arma hasta que se la dio a la diosa Atenea para que la pusiera en su escudo, la égida. Desde la antigüedad clásica, la imagen de la cabeza de Medusa aparece representada en el artilugio que aleja el mal conocido como Gorgoneion.

IN ENGLISH:
It was a monster femininely, that was turning into stone those
that were looking at her fixedly to the eyes. She was beheaded by
Perseo, who later used his head as weapon until she was
given to the goddess Atenea in order that she was putting it in
her shield, the aegis. From the classic antique,  the image of the head of Jellyfish turns out to be represented in the
useless device that removes the evil known as Gorgoneion.
