Wonderful pair of Testa di Moro in light and bright green, with black pine cones and details in gold leaf. It is made of Sicilian artistic ceramic, crafted and hand-painted by the master ceramists of Caltagirone.
It stands out for the beauty of the face and details, combined with the brilliance of colors and the velvety brightness of the ceramic.
Measures 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.
