Magnificent Sicilian Moor's Head, with a checkered pattern and royal crown, finished in pure gold, handcrafted and painted by the master ceramists of Caltagirone. It stands out for the richness and originality of the decoration, for the beauty of the face and details, combined with the brilliance of the colors and the velvety brightness of the ceramic.
Also available in the male version.
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 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.
