The Testa di Moro Medusa h 20 cm, Garden of Eden Line is one of the rarest and most sought-after pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the Moorish face of the Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) is enriched with the iconography of Medusa, the Gorgon that in Sicilian tradition is a symbol of protection, in the Garden of Eden version, with a wisteria lustre finish that recalls the colours of wisteria blossoms, delicate and enveloping like a garden in spring. A piece that unites three symbolic systems, the Moor's Head, Medusa and the garden, in a sculpture of extraordinary cultural depth and visual beauty.
