Don Venerando Head Vase

Stately yet bold, this alluring, anthropomorphic vase of a man is a testament to Sicily’s rich artistic and historical heritage. Crafted using terracotta with a matte white glaze, the sculpture of a Moor man boasts meticulous detailing “en relief” that reveals the grape and floral locks of hair, striking mustache, and supple turban topped by a regal crown. The expressive gaze is accomplished by applying a gold leaf stripe across the eyes, emphasizing their vibrant symbolism as windows to the soul. The piece will make a statement in a living room, patio deck or entryway. The vase cannot be filled with water.
