Pair of Moorish Heads with crown and gold zecchino, they are made and hand-painted by the master ceramists of Caltagirone.
They stand out for the richness and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of faces and details, combined with the brilliance of colors and the velvety brightness of the ceramic.
They measure 17 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 spilling out of red terracotta pots, shaped like Moorish 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 Moorish head could come to life and speak.
