Don't Look Medusa in the Eye

With Snakes for hair, looks that literally can kill, Medusa is not a woman-serpent to be trifled with. 
Medusa and her sisters Stheno and Euryale were referred to as the Gorgons and all
three had the ability to turn men to stone by making eye contact.
Medusa would meet her end when the Greek hero Perseus used a mirrored shield to 
guide his sword strike that beheaded her.  Even then her dead head had the ability to turn living creatures to stone, as Perseus would use Medusa's  head to save Princess Andromeda from a sea monster.
Medusa is a plastic piece from Monolith that I painted in 2020.
