AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Great decorative ceramic sculpture from Caltagirone depicting a male Moor's head, characterized by a rich crown with numerous decorative relief elements.

The piece bears the official signature “Andres Caltagirone” on the back, from the artisanal workshop Ceramiche Artistiche Andres, led by master craftsman Andrea Giuliano.

The workshop is located in the historic heart of Caltagirone (Sicily, Italy), a renowned Sicilian city of ceramics, and is known for the creation of traditional majolica artworks, with documented activity in artistic ceramics.

The sculpture measures about 56 cm in height and about 40 cm at its maximum width.

The decoration is particularly rich and three-dimensional, with vegetal elements such as leaves, pomegranates, and ornamental features like earrings and imitation stones applied to the surface.

Conditions: excellent, with a small chip on the edge of the base to report, visible in the photographs. No other defects observed.
