Fascinating female Moor's head in Sicilian artistic ceramic, with green acanthus leaves and a turban with black and white geometric patterns.
It also has precious details in pure gold.
It stands out for the beauty of the face and details, combined with the brilliance of pure gold and the silkiness of the ceramic.
Measures 35 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.
