You will not turn to stone when you look at this Medusa
Medusa was a monster in the greek Mythology. Described as a winged human female with living venomous snakes in place of hair. Gazers upon her hideous face would turn to stone. To prevent you from turning into stone, i made a lovely snake Medusa. I placed her in a Byzantine environment. The Byzantium or East Roman Empire had as capital the city of Constantinople. So  Byzantium and Medusa is all from the Antique world. Merchants from the west and east were coming to trade  in Constantinople. They followed the silk road. Yesterday in the evening i did a historical Hunt, the Silk Road hunt. You need find a small colorful pagoda. Hunt tips are in every shop. Click the Hunt board.

I found this small Byzantine house and many items that i could use for decoration. I changed the transparancy from the window to get a more bright view outside. With the textures that i got at the hunt, i made wall tapestries and rugs. The textures are very good. I also got a wall tapestry from the hunt, the Byzantine Empress in yellow. You can see that one in the food corner. From Noble Creations i used some old gifts. The camel has on both sides a sign. You can put a welcomes text or a picture in the signs. Not shown is the gift from Simply Shelby, a very nice Ming Dynasty plate display. I sure will use that one as decoration once.
Nic is wearing a medusa dress from UNA. You can find it at the Tres Chic Event. It comes with the snake belt. The snake necklace and bracelets are from Nic's inventory from Faun. The skin is the FLF skin from Glam Affair for LeLutka ( Jamaica). Hair is a gift from Truth.
The thumb up bento pose is a gift from Knot&Co. Nice poses in a hud.
