The Medusa Testa di Moro (Sicilian Moor's Head) H 20 cm, Gardens of Eden Line is one of the rarest and most sought-after pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection: the dark face of the Moor's Head is enriched with the iconography of the Medusa, the Gorgon that in Sicilian tradition is a symbol of protection, in the Gardens of Eden version, with a wisteria lustre finish that recalls the colours of wisteria flowers, delicate and enveloping like a garden in spring. A piece that unites three symbolic systems, the Moor's Head, the Medusa and the garden, in a sculpture of extraordinary cultural complexity and visual beauty.

100% Handcrafted Ceramic
For almost 20 years Sofia La Maiolica of Caltagirone has been involved in the artisanal production of unique majolica pieces, decorated and modeled 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 oriental world in which the colors were produced by the fusion of kaolin-based glazes. The manufacturing process that leads to the creation of our ceramics is divided into six important phases:
Turning, Drying, First firing, Enamelling, 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 feature of purchasing a non-industrial product is precisely this: owning a unique product .
