Pair of Moorish Heads with a satin black finish and pure gold, made of Sicilian artistic ceramics. The Heads are topped and embellished with pine cones also finished in pure gold.
It stands out for its original finish, for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of pure gold.
They measure 50 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.
