Winged Gorgoneion (Olympia B 110)
The Winged Gorgoneion is a shield decoration from the first half of the 6th century BC, which served as an ''apotropaion'' on a shield. It was found during the excavations at Olympia and is kept at the Olympia Archaeological Museum under the inventory number ''B 110''.
== Description ==
The gorgoneion was found by the north wall of the stadion. The diameter of the central hub with the head of Medusa on it measures 34 cm, while the total diameter is 81.5 cm.
The central hub is entirely taken up by the head of the gorgon and her hair of snakes. The eyes were probably inset with bone and were probably ringed by marked eyelids. The open mouth is clearly marked off from the chin and jowls by a pair of bulging lips. Under the chin there are traces which probably mark the remains of a soldered beard. The Gorgon's bared teeth, tusks and tongue hanging from her mouth would be intended to increase the deterrent effect of the symbol. The hub is surrounded by three sickle-shaped wings, one of which did not survive and has been restored with a modern replica.
The location of the gorgoneion's creation is unclear.
