Medusa Head with Snakes Hairdo Mural in Sacramento, California

This wall mural in downtown Sacramento, California, resembles the head of Medusa with her waving hair of venomous snakes. The rock in the background could symbolize any of the mythological men she turned into stone with her hideous glance. Fortunately, she was beheaded by Perseus who then gave it to Athena to place upon her shield for protection against evil. In modern times, this image has symbolized feministic rage. It is also used as a logo by Versace, the Italian fashion company.
