Pair of satin Moor's Heads, with a turban decorated in red and gold details, made of Sicilian artistic ceramics, entirely crafted and hand-painted by master ceramists. It stands out for the elegance and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of the faces and details.

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 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.
