medusa head
Snake-haired severed trophy
A medusa head is a representation of Medusa, the snake-haired Gorgon of Greek mythology whose gaze turned people to stone.
The term appears in medicine for structures with radiating elements resembling serpentine hair—particularly dilated veins spreading from the navel in liver disease (caput medusae).
In botany, it names plants with writhing, tentacle-like forms.
