Medusa Trinket Box

Not your everyday heart shaped happy box! Rather, this evocative piece portrays the tragic visage of Medusa, once a mortal of striking beauty whose transformation into a Gorgon became a cornerstone of Greek mythology. The sides are sculpted with decorative motifs of Pegasus and Vitruvian Scroll wave patterns that suggest Perseus’s journey to slay her. The powerful symbol of feminine fury and protective warding retains her icy stare on the lid, where she is surrounded by serpentine tresses and blossoming roses, framed within a classic Greek key pattern. This haunting trinket box is expertly crafted of cold cast bronze with hand-painted accents. Overall: 4 -5/8" long, 4-5/8" wide, 2-7/8" tall
