I like this sculpture. She is in a very annoyed stance. In the regular story it’s probably because she’s trying to figure out where to put all these bodies. ☠️ I think there is a secret story though. Medea is holding a cake knife. She is waiting for the cake for the party for her dead family. 😵💀
SHE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR 19 MINUTES FOR THAT CAKE AND DIDN’T EVEN GET THE RIGHT ONE 😡
In the recent years they use pointing machines and carving tools to carve stone. In the olden days they just used carving tools. They probably used machine stuff on this.
