Moor's Head in ceramic with Sicilian decoration where bright red and copper green tones prevail. It is entirely made and painted by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone.
They stand out for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of the colors and the velvety brightness of the ceramic.
Height 45 cm.
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 a Moor's Head. 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.
