 "Near them their sisters three, the Gorgons, winged
With snakes for hair — hated of mortal man"

I purchased this from Cisational Baubles, on etsy.

I've always been fascinated by the story of Medusa. Medusa is a figure from Greek Mythology. One of the tree Gorgon sisters; Medusa was a creature who's stare turn a person to stone. She was beheaded by Perseus who used her head as a weapon. Later he gave it to the goddess Athena to place upon her shield. 

The necklaces is "seemingly" carved, according to the seller. The white three dimensional head piece lies atop of a hazy blueberry, creating a cameo. Upon the head of Medusa are snake not only the traditional snake curls but two horns.
