A pair of satin-finished Moor's Heads, with blue and ochre turbans, in Sicilian artistic ceramic, entirely hand-crafted and hand-painted by master ceramists. It stands out for the elegance and originality of its decoration, the beauty of its faces, and the fine details.
Measures 37 cm in height.
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncle's house in Palermo, adorning the entrance to the grape-covered driveway, there were succulents growing out of red terracotta pots, shaped like Moor's Heads. 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.
