About the Item

This striking Italian plaque combines the deep, vivid beauty of natural lapis lazuli with the refined elegance of gilt bronze. At its center, a finely detailed Medusa head emerges in high relief, symbolizing strength and classical allure. The intense blue of the polished lapis base, marbled with natural white and gold veining, creates a dramatic backdrop for the warm, lustrous tones of the bronze. Crafted in Rome by the renowned Gioielleria Tarascio, this piece exudes old-world sophistication and artistic craftsmanship. Perfect as a desk accessory, paperweight, or decorative accent, it adds a bold, luxurious touch to any space. A collectible treasure, it celebrates the timeless harmony between Italian artistry and natural stone elegance.
