Gorgon Mug with a design inspired by the figure from Greek mythology.
Medusa was depicted with a monstrous appearance and snakes instead of hair. She had the power to turn anyone who looked into her eyes to stone. Her story is closely linked to the myth of Perseus, who killed her by cutting off her head, as she was the only mortal Gorgon.
The Gorgons, together with the Fauns and the Sileni, were used as subjects placed outside their homes by the Greeks and Romans to protect the doors, frightening the malevolent entities thanks to their monstrous features, often showing the tongue as an expression of challenge.
