About This Design
Medusa Apotropaic Ancient Greek Art Mug
Medusa is a very common figure in ancient Greek art. Her face appears in almost all objects of art, in many different contexts. The prevalent interpretation of the Gorgon (Medusa) proposes she is an apotropaic symbol used to protect from and ward off negative energy, e.g. the evil eye. She is a dangerous threat meant to deter (hence the word 'apotropaic') other dangerous threats, a scary symbol that repels evil. The term gorgoneion refers to the head and face of Medusa, as shown in this design, which was often employed as a decorative motif. This particular design is derived from a 6th century BCE terracotta black-figure vase by Ergotimos (the potter) and Kleitias (the painter) - so, no royalties!
Use this design to ward off negativity and celebrate Greece and ancient Greek art at the same time. It also looks cool!

So personal and very much a product of today's market. I personally purchased the Mug for myself to stop others from taking it LOL 😆 However this would make the perfect personalised gift for anyone - I am thinking Work Christmas gift etc
I like my coffee so I only wish the mug was slightly bigger. The Avatar I choose came out PERFECTLY it really does look spot on.

Great product, good delivery time, and an awesome idea for a gift! It was even better than I could have imagined, the customisation is incredible. The colour is perfect, it's dishwashable and microwaveable, the text print on the mug looks exactly like I wanted it to look and best of all, it's a large sized mug that you can drink plenty of coffee or whatever you want! I gifted this to my father and he loves it. He drinks coffee with that mug everyday :) I recommend.
