The Medusa Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) H 25 cm / 9¾", Mother of Pearl with Wisteria Beads is one of the most expressive pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the Medusa, a symbol of protection in Sicilian tradition, emerges from a head of snakes, in a mother of pearl finish enriched with hand-applied wisteria beads and a blue necklace. The contrast between the iridescent depth of the mother of pearl and the wisteria of the beads creates a visual effect of great chromatic depth and Mediterranean mystery.
