Description from the seller

Ceramic ornaments, molded and hand-painted, depicting the faces of a man and a woman.

Born from the skilled hands of Sicilian artisans and exported worldwide, today the Testes de Moro in ceramic are almost always reproduced in pairs and are symbols of Sicily par excellence, no doubt the most characteristic.

The Moros have behind them a very old and important history, typical of a Sicily immersed in a magical atmosphere between ancient traditions, myths and legends that tell of thwarted loves, passions and jealousy.
This object is a symbol of good fortune, prosperity and health.

The vases will be shipped with careful packaging.
