Delicious pair of Sicilian artistic ceramic Moor's Heads, made and hand painted in shades of green, embellished with pure gold.
They stand out for the beauty of their faces and details, combined with the brilliance of pure gold and the silkiness of ceramic.
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 pots in red terracotta, in the shape of a Moor's Head. Every time I passed by, I looked at them with a mixture of restlessness 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.
