Medusa Head Sculptures Basilica Cistern Istanbul Postcard

Medusa Head Sculptures Basilica Cistern Istanbul Postcard

This is one of two Medusa Head sculptures that are used as pillar supports for the the Basilica Cistern buried in the underground of Istanbul, Turkey. This Cistern is a vast underground water storage cavern supported by 300 massive columns, including this one mysteriously supported by a Medusa head. This sculpture's origins are unknown though it is believed to have been taken from a Roman temple for use in constructing this massive water storage cistern built about 1500 years ago during the reign of Justinian. This Medusa head is massive, about the height of an adult and quite wide with all sides exquisitely sculpted to show the Medusa with a head of snakes and reputed to turn anyone she looks at to stone.

Bought 10 Shakespeare quotes postcards and have framed them individually and placed them around the house Love them, some are funny and some are deep and meaningful! Lovely background on some, excellent printed words. A couple of plain white cards with black print - very stricking

My order was probably an awkward one! I asked for a range of different fine-art prints, in postcard size. It was all freshly printed, delivered quickly and at a very reasonable price. Best quality matt finish I've seen on a fine-art print.

These cards are great quality, I use them as enclosure cards for my business! Hey are a little pricey but you definitely get the quality and professionalism! Repurchased a few times now and will continue to do so :). Beautiful, nice sheen on them, sharp and clear
