Gorgon (Medusa) decoration of a burial chamber called Ipogeo dei Cristallini (Hypogeum of Crystals) in Naples, Italy.
It was originally located outside the city walls of ancient Neapolis and served as a tomb between Hellenism and the Roman Empire. Today the place can be accessed through a staircase located inside the Palazzo di Donato, in Via dei Cristallini, from which the tombs take their name.
