Medusa on Aegis

An aegis was a leather cloak, breastplate or shield. Athena placed the head of Medusa at the center of her aegis.

This cup shows Athena on the right with the Medusa on her aegis. On the left is the figure of Jason regurgitating from the monster guarding the Golden Fleece, which is hanging on a branch above.
