Decorative ornament - Italy - - ceiling boards

The decorated wooden board presents a style that strongly recalls the iconographic tradition of the Sicilian carts and of the Opera dei Pupi.
Here is a detailed description of its elements:
Composition and structure: The work is structured as a decorative panel divided into geometric compartments, dominated by eight-pointed star motifs (a geometric motif of clear Arabic/maiolica origin) and panels enriched with stylized floral decorations. In the center, to separate the two main scenes, there is a vertical inlaid strip painted with floral motifs.
The figurative scenes: Inside the central stars are painted two profile figures facing each other, typical of representations of the Paladins of France or noble knightly figures. The predominant colors are ochre yellow for the background, brick red, dark blue and green for the floral details.
Condition and finish: The surface shows signs of time and wear, which confirm the authenticity and rustic charm of the artisanal piece, with warm tones and a matte finish.
