Terracotta Greek Gorgon Head in the Study Collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 2007
Title: Terracotta gorgoneion antefix (roof tile)
Medium; Technique: Terracotta
Culture: Greek, South Italian, Tarentine
Period: Classical
Date: 2nd half of the 5th century B.C.
Dimensions: H. 7 5/8 in. (19.4 cm.) W. 10 3/4 in. (27.3 cm.)
Classification: Terracottas
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1920
Accession Number: 20.215
Description:
The style of this gorgoneion antefix is of a transitional type between the archaic, more fierce Medusa and the calm Medusa of later centuries. Traces of white slip remain on her face, and a few traces of paint from the once bright yellow hair can still be seen on her head. The irises of her eyes would have been painted blue or black.
