Her name means 'ruler'. Anyone who looked into her face was petrified on the spot. After an unbelievable outrage, she was beheaded by Perseus. From then on, Athena wielded Medusa's head like a weapon in her shield. This is how the legendary ancient sculptor Phidias depicts it in his statue of Athena. The legendary statue was destroyed, but this original large relief from the Roman imperial period has survived. Original: Roman copy after Phidias, Glyptothek Munich. Marble. Museum replica made of polymer weatherproof artificial marble with suspension device. Size 46 x 36 x 14 cm. Weight approx. 14 kg.
