Gorgon Terracotta Decoration

Gorgon Terracotta Decoration
A fine, Ancient Greek, terracotta Gorgoneion fitting. The face is moulded to depict the gorgon with her wide mouth stretched in a grin with two long tusks protruding above and below, and her tongue thrust out. The figure’s cheeks are puffed out, and the forehead is partly covered with a fringe of tight curls. The British Museum has an almost exact piece that was used as a decoration on a coffin. What a scary thing to put on a coffin of a loved one! Remember, Medusa was a Gorgon. Yikes!
