Interesting, I think this is the first male looking medusa I have ever seen, thanks for sharing, I like it!

Thanks. Medusas aren't the prettiest of creatures, depending on which version of the story you use. I'm glad you found it interesting!

It looks like it's saying,
HI HELLO WELCOME TO THE CEMETERY.

True. No dead people beyond, though, as far as I know, but it would not be out of place after this face.

Oh yeah. I just realized it's wood. Not a headstone of something. Oops.

No problem. Everything's open to interpretation. It would be very interesting as a headstone.

A gurning gargoyle-like gorgon on a Gallic gate...

Medusa's mean mane and moaning mouth may mess up the mailman's mind, moreover, meaning masses of misplaced missives.

Yes, the postman was petrified at the prospect of posting packages at this Parisian portal protected by the python-permed phantasm to which princely Perseus put paid, and who was previously Posseidon's paramour, prior to being deprived of her pulchritude.
