Testa di Moro in ceramic with Sicilian decoration in which the tones of bright red and copper green prevail. It is made and painted entirely by hand by the master potters of Caltagirone.
They stand out for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of the colors and the velvety luminosity of the ceramics.
Measures 45cm in height.
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncles' house in Palermo, to decorate the entrance to the avenue covered with grape pergolas, there were succulent plants that came out of red terracotta vases, in the shape of a Moro's Head. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mixture of concern 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 alive and speak.
