A striking pair of handcrafted Sicilian Moor Heads, made in Caltagirone, Sicily.
Standing approximately 7 inches tall, this larger pair has a more substantial sculptural presence than our petite Moor Heads. Finished in timeless white, their ornate crowns, expressive profiles, and intricate details make them a beautiful statement for a console, bookshelf, dining table, or styled shelf.
Known in Sicily as Teste di Moro, Moor Heads are among the island’s most iconic decorative objects. Rooted in a centuries-old Sicilian legend of love, passion, and betrayal, today they are treasured throughout Sicily as symbols associated with protection, prosperity, and abundance.
Each piece is handcrafted and hand-finished by Sicilian artisans using traditional ceramic techniques. Subtle variations in shape, glaze, and detailing are part of the beauty of handmade ceramics and make every pair unique.
