Mid-20th Century Mythological Terracotta "Medusa" Ceramic Sculpture

About the Item

Sculpture depicting a female, armless figure lying on her side, circa 1960s-1970s. Unsure of the subject, but the style and details of the hair suggest this could depict Medusa. Impressive, dense piece measuring: H 10.75" x D 6.75" x L 16" Unsigned but executed by a skilled ceramicist, given the detail and complex composition. Patina / light wear present consistent with age and one thin hairline crack to the back post-firing in the kiln, as shown.
