Description
The Vatican Museums are full of artwork from the stunningly beautiful to the more unusual such as this scary head above a door inside the Vatican Museum. Not sure what the purpose of these scary heads are but some thoughts may be that they are to scare sinners or to scare evil spirits away, similar to the task of the scary gargoyles which are often on the outside of cathedrals.
