AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Handcrafted and hand-painted ceramic ornamental vases depicting the faces of a man and a woman.

Born from the skilled hands of Sicilian artisans and exported worldwide, the Teste di Moro in ceramics are now almost always reproduced in pairs and are quintessential symbols of Sicily, undoubtedly the most characteristic.

The Mori have a very ancient and important history behind them, typical of Sicily, immersed in a magical atmosphere of ancient traditions, myths, and legends that tell of conflicted loves, passions, and jealousies.
This object is a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and health.

The vases will be shipped with careful packaging.
