letsgostealthelouvre:Many years ago in grad school I did a paper on ancient depictions of Medusa in Greek art, and of course that included gorgons in general more broadly. This is a relatively early example of the gorgon from the 6th century, and not to make a pun but she is killin’ it. [Description: A mostly 2-dimensional metal figure meant as an adornment, possibly for clothing. The figure depicts a humanoid with pointy boots and flared ankles, a kilt or skirt with geometric decorations, a cape or set of extremely long sleeves like flags attached to the upper arms, and a leering face with tongue sticking out and horns emerging from the hair. She looks like she gives no shits.] -- source link
