Description: Gorgons are sometimes depicted as having wings of gold, brazen claws, and the tusks of boars. They even have fire coming out of their hands and they can steal powers from the gods. They are so strong that they can kill anyone who stands in their way. They are the Queens of the underworld. The Gorgons can go anywhere they want and even look like humans. There is only one male Gorgon, Nanas, the guard of Zeus. According to the myths, seeing the face of a Gorgon turned the viewer to stone... Certainly this Gorgon is already frozen on the hardboard with oil and acrylic paints and won't harm anyone unless insufficiently mounted at the exhibition place...
