Medusa

Unique Medusa brown fur sandal. Made from fine quality leather, both the leather and the metallic ornament on the upper wide strap of the sandal have been carefully handcrafted by craftsmen in our workshop. The upper part of the sandal consists of two layers of leather to ensure the stability of the metallic decoration and your comfort. The decorative feature is a round disc with a hand stamped Medusa, handmade from bronze, modeled, cast, polished and plated with 22K gold. The leather insole has been hand dyed to result in a wood-like appearance giving an earthy tone to this simply gorgeous sandal.

In Greek mythology, Medusa is known as one of three mermaids. Of the three, Medusa was the only mortal. Also referred to as “Gorlo” meaning wild eyes. One version of this mythical creature is that Medusa was originally a beautiful Athenian Priestess who was raped by Poseidon, disguised as a horse, in the sacred sanctuary of Athena. Unable to control her anger or to confront Poseidon, it is said that she was transformed into Medusa, a monstrous unattractive women with snakes for hair. Her ugliness was such that anyone who laid eyes on Medusa would turn to stone.

Eventually killed by Perseus with the help of the goddess Athena, the image of Medusa’s head was placed on a shield because even in death it was believed that her wild gaze would turn anyone who laid eyes on her into stone.
