The Tuareg Medusa Moor's Head h 20 cm — Giardini dell'Eden Line is one of the rarest and most sought-after pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the Tuareg shape is enriched with the iconography of Medusa — the Gorgon that in Sicilian tradition is a symbol of protection — in the Giardini dell'Eden version, with a wisteria luster finish that recalls the colors of wisteria flowers, delicate and enveloping like a spring garden. A piece that unites three symbolic systems — the Tuareg, Medusa, the garden — in a sculpture of extraordinary cultural complexity and visual beauty.

100% Handcrafted Ceramics
For almost 20 years, Sofia La Maiolica di Caltagirone has been dedicated to the artisanal production of unique majolica pieces, decorated and shaped by hand. They are inspired by the classic style of Caltagirone ceramics from all eras, made with unique glazes that recall the origins of the Eastern world where colors were produced by fusing kaolin-based glazes. The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases:
Turning, Drying, First Firing, Glazing, Decoration, and Aging.
For each of these phases, we dedicate the utmost care to every detail so that the final product is the result of a unique, inimitable, and unaltered work over time. The main characteristic of purchasing a non-industrial product is precisely this: owning a unique product.
