The Testa di Moro h 25 cm with Lemons, Blue and Orange is one of the best-loved and most recognisable pieces in the Ceramiche Sofia collection in the classic format: the Sicilian lemon appliqués, the symbol of the island par excellence, are modelled separately and applied one by one to the headdress, painted in the lively deep blue and warm orange of the Caltagirone ceramic tradition. The result is a festive, Mediterranean and deeply Sicilian piece, in which figurative decoration and artisan tradition blend perfectly.
