Description: A bold graphic interpretation of Medusa, reduced into a stark linocut-inspired emblem with a pale classical face, crimson serpents and winged temples. Heavy black carving, flat colour masses and simplified mythological forms give the image the force of a traditional relief print while retaining a clean contemporary poster aesthetic
Description: Gorgoneion within a circle, which has been incised in the moist clay and left red. Around this twenty-eight spiral-form snakes are drawn, half facing each way. The Gorgon has two protruding tusks above and below, and protruding tongue; the hair is in black silhouette, with the lower edge waved, and she wears circular earrings. The black of the hair is continued all round, forming a frame for the face.
Description: Antefix in the form of a Gorgon head reassembled from two fragments. It was found southwest of the Parthenon in 1835.

Description: In the rich tapestry of ancient Egyptian civilization, animals played a vital role, weaving their way into mythology, daily life, and even the afterlife.

Description: Citipati, Chitipati or Shmashana Adhipati is a protector deity or dharmapala in Tibetan Buddhism and Vajrayana Buddhism of the Himalayas. It is formed of two skeletal deities, one male and the other female, both dancing wildly with their limbs intertwined inside a halo of flames representing change. The Citipati is said to be one of the seventy-five forms of Mahakala. Their symbol is meant to represent both the eternal dance of death as well as perfect awareness. They are invoked as wrathful deities, benevolent protectors of fierce appearance.
