The Moor's Head with Turban Medusa h 25 cm — Wisteria Luster is one of the rarest and most poetic pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the shape of the draped turban is enhanced by the iconography of Medusa — a symbol of protection in Sicilian tradition — in the Wisteria Luster version, an iridescent finish in shades of lilac and pearly white that evokes clusters of wisteria in bloom. A piece of extraordinary visual delicacy and cultural depth.
