Description: RARE ANCIENT ROMAN TERRACOTTA OBJECT WITH MEDUSA Dimensions: Weight - 74.87 Grams Size - 6.5 cm Medusa is an instantly recognizable figure from ancient Greek and Roman art. Her face, whether fierce and grotesque or feminine and composed, appears in virtually all media in varying contexts. The most common interpretation of Medusa suggests she is an apotropaic symbol used to protect from and ward off the negative, much like the modern evil eye. She represents a dangerous threat meant to deter other dangerous threats, an image of evil to repel evil. A close look at her role in mythology and art reveals a nuanced and complex character with multiple iterations and implications. Age: 100-200 AD Provenance: Eastern European excavation 1990s
