The Testa di Moro Medusa h 25 cm, Mother of Pearl with Red Beads is one of the most expressive and precious pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: Medusa, a symbol of protection in Sicilian tradition, emerges from a head of snake hair topped by a crown, with a mother of pearl finish enriched by hand-applied red beads.
