[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2748341, member: 5833"]This carving is not an exact copy of that drawing; changes were made. There are certain conventions in depicting Medusa, so they are bound to have similarities. The open mouth descends from ancient Greek depictions of her as a monster. In modern times she has mutated into a beautiful, lethal woman; the majority of artists do not choose to show her shrieking. What are your plans for this? Are you keeping it until you tire of it or are you wanting to put it on the market now?[/QUOTE]
