Medusa Mosaic
Found this on display at the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe. Germany. And though I don’t speak German, I could tell this was Medusa because of the snakes in her hair. She’s one of the three Gorgon sisters of Greek and Roman mythology. To gaze upon her would turn a man to stone. But here, someone has turned the tables -- and turned her to stone herself!
