Delicious pair of Moor's Heads in Sicilian artistic ceramics, made and hand-painted in shades of green, embellished with 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 Moor's 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 Moor's Head could come to life and speak.
