This love story is from 11th Century Sicily, a land ruled by the Arabs and Moors of North Africa. A pretty, young Sicilian maiden is gardening on her balcony, when below walks a noble young moor, who is taken by her beauty. They fall in love, but it is not to last, for soon he must return home… to his wife and children! Enraged, the lady beheads the moor, and uses his skull as a plant pot, so she will always be with her lover.
I love this piece because of its playful yet sophisticated mix of colours and details. The Testa Di Moro bust brings a conversation-starting element to both contemporary and eclectic interiors. It works particularly well styled on a sideboard, mantel or as a centrepiece on a coffee table, especially when paired with natural textures like wood or woven textiles. To maximise its impact, consider keeping surrounding décor minimal to let the sculpture stand out or complementing it with other artful accessories in similar colour tones. Because of its detailed design, it’s best placed in spaces where it can be appreciated up close, adding a touch of personality and charm to your rooms.
