This embroidery design features a stylized Medusa head, a classical figure from Greek mythology, depicted with intricate blackwork embroidery. The design includes detailed curls of hair intertwined with snakes, rendered in bold black thread. The face is symmetrical and expressionless, with geometric precision, highlighted by the use of satin stitch for smooth, flowing lines and texture. The overall composition is circular, with the head centrally placed, exuding a sense of ancient mystique and power.
