Historical Curiosities
Medusa was linked to the myth of Perseus who managed to kill her by cutting off her head as he was the only one of the Gorgons to be mortal.
The Gorgons, together with the Fauns and Sileni, were used as subjects placed outside their homes by the Greeks and Romans. It was thought that they could protect the door from malevolent entities, thanks to their monstrous features and, sometimes, showing their tongue as an expression of defiance.
Maintenance
To keep your bronze plate always shining, clean it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
