A pair of ceramic Moor's Heads with Sicilian decorations featuring predominantly bright red and copper green tones. They are crafted and painted entirely by hand by the master ceramists of Caltagirone.
They stand out for the beauty of their faces and details, combined with the brilliance of their colors and the velvety sheen of the ceramic.
They measure 45 cm in height.
My emotion:
As a child, in the garden of my uncle's house in Palermo, succulents sprouting from red terracotta pots in the shape of Moor's Heads adorned the entrance to the grape-covered driveway. Every time I passed by, I gazed at them with a mixture of uneasiness and fascination. It seemed to me that a life form had crystallized in those strange objects and that at any moment the Moor's Head might come to life and speak.
