The Testa di Moro h 33 cm without Crown, Blue and Orange, a Sicilian Moor's Head, is an essential and sculptural version of the intermediate format: without the traditional decorative crown, the sculpture reduces the form to its most authentic essence, the face, the neck, the bust, letting the blue and orange contrast of the Caltagirone tradition become the sole protagonist. A piece of great formal purity.
