In Greek mythology, Perseus slew the snake-haired monster Medusa when he avoided her "stoning turning" stare by looking at her in the reflection on his shield. In the tradition of the Italian Renaissance which celebrated the art and myth of Classical Antiquity, Cellini recreates the myth triumphantly in this sculpture with Perseus raising Medusa's head in victory. 18 foot original in Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence, Italy, 1545-1554.

Made from bonded white marble, with an ornate white pedestal on a black marble base, imported from Italy, 20.5"H x 4"W x 4.5"D.
