This overhead photograph captures a section of a mosaic floor located within the Glyptothek in Munich, Germany. The central element is a large, intricate mosaic depicting the head of Medusa, rendered in various shades of grey, blue, and dark green tesserae. The Medusa's face is stylized with dark eyes and a defined nose and mouth, while its hair is composed of intertwining snakes, with two prominent snakes extending downward from the chin. The Medusa mosaic is set against a background of smaller, irregular light-colored (cream and off-white) tesserae, which show signs of age with visible cracks and worn grout lines. Surrounding the central Medusa motif are several circular mosaic patterns, each containing a dark green eight-pointed star. In the lower portion of the image, a pair of human feet, wearing loose blue jeans and black sandals with gold buckles, are positioned directly on the mosaic floor. The individual's toenails are painted red. There are no other people, specific actions, or interactions depicted beyond the individual standing on the mosaic.
