Bust of Polyphemus, in Sicilian artistic ceramics, made and hand-painted by Master ceramists.
Polyphemus is a mythological creature, a cyclops son of Poseidon, according to the version narrated by Homer. The Greeks placed the land of the Cyclopes, gigantic deities with a single eye, at the foot of Mount Etna, in Sicily.
It stands out for the richness and originality of the decoration, combined with the brilliance of colors and the velvety brightness of ceramics.
Colors are modifiable upon request.

My emotion:
Mythology has always fascinated me. I studied Greek mythology in "The Greek Myths" by Robert Graves, with its fantastic heroes but also characterized by very human traits and flaws.
Sicily is steeped in Greek mythology and many mythological figures are born right here, such as those of Arethusa, Ciane, Daphne, Erice, Galatea, Polyphemus. Fantastic and unreal stories that I loved to hear my mother tell when I was a child and that I have also told to my children, to see the magical wonder in their eyes.
