The Moor's Head with Turban h 25 cm — Blue and Orange is a variation of the classic h25 with the headgear wrapped in a turban: a shape that recalls the North African and oriental influences in Sicilian ceramic culture, the result of centuries of cultural exchanges between Sicily and the Eastern Mediterranean. The blue and orange decoration — the most iconic colors of the Caltagirone tradition — enhances the shape of the turban with great Mediterranean character.
