Description from the seller
Medusa's head, an iconic figure of Greek mythology, skillfully carved from the precious white marble of Carrara and mounted on a solid base of red marble from Levanto.
Medusa's head, with its characteristic snakes intertwined in her hair, conveys a powerful sense of strength and beauty. Every detail is finely crafted, from the sinuous curls to the intense and harmonious features of the face. The red marble base from Levanto adds a striking color contrast, further highlighting the purity of the white marble.
Perfect as a decorative element in both classic and modern interiors, this sculptural piece is ideal for enriching lounges, libraries, or reception areas. Its design combines classical art with the refinement of Italian materials, making it a unique and valuable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of art and culture.
A tribute to mythology and artistic tradition, capable of telling a timeless story.
