The Moor's Head h 30 cm Medusa — Antiqued Mother-of-Pearl with Blue Beads is one of the rarest and most precious pieces in the large format collection by Ceramiche Sofia: the Medusa — a symbol of protection in Sicilian tradition — manifests itself in the sculpture, embellished by the antiqued mother-of-pearl finish and hand-applied blue beads. The contrast between the iridescent delicacy of the mother-of-pearl and the intense blue of the beads creates an object of extraordinary visual depth in a large format.
