The Sognia Testa di Moro Lamp from Caltagirone, Matte Face turns the female Sognia head, a Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head), into a table lamp: the dark, matte face, with closed eyes and a serene smile, is wrapped in a turban with a rose knot in an antique mother of pearl finish. Large gold hoop earrings hang from the lobes and a pendant of gold and amber beads sits at the neck. The head is modelled and decorated by hand by Ceramiche Sofia.
