A sculpted head with intricate, curly hair and wing-like features is displayed on a pedestal against a maroon-colored backdrop. The expression is intense, with finely carved facial details that convey a sense of drama and mythology. This is a bronze head of Medusa, a fitting of the Nemi Ships built on the orders of the Roman emperor Caligula around AD 37-41. The item is on display at the National Roman Museum in Rome, Italy.
