A pair of Moor's Heads with a satin black and pure gold finish, made of Sicilian artistic ceramic. The heads are topped and embellished with pine cones, also finished in pure gold.
They stand out for their original finish, the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of the pure gold.
They measure 50 cm in height.
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncle's house in Palermo, succulents sprouting from red terracotta pots in the shape of Moor's Heads adorned the entrance to the grape-covered driveway. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mixture of uneasiness and fascination. It seemed to me that a life form had crystallized in those strange objects and that at any moment the Moor's Head might come to life and speak.
