Refined pair of Teste di Moro in Sicilian artistic ceramics. They have a satin black face, antiqued white turban, red apples, and details in pure gold.
They stand out for the beauty of the faces and details, combined with the brilliance of pure gold and the silkiness of the ceramic.
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.
