Gold Medusa Medallion Coaster

Round sandstone coaster with an image of a gold Medusa medallion on brushed gold. In Greek mythology, Medusa was beheaded by the Greek hero Perseus, who thereafter used her head as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. In classical antiquity the image of the head of Medusa appeared in the evil-averting device known as the Gorgoneion. See matching square plastic coaster.
