Pair of Moor's Heads with fruit and lemons, made and hand-painted by master ceramicists, with particular watercolored colors.
They stand out for the richness and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brightness of the colors and the velvety luminosity of the ceramic.
They measure 38 cm in height.
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncles' house in Palermo, adorning the entrance of the avenue covered by grapevines, there were succulent plants that protruded from red terracotta pots, shaped like Moor's Heads. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mix of unease and fascination. It seemed to me that a form of life had crystallized in those strange objects and that at any moment the Moor's Head could come to life and speak.
