Sicilian Medusa Heads
During my recent visit to Sicily, I discovered these beautiful hand painted ceramic Moor’s heads (also called Medusa heads), which come in many different sizes. In the city of Syracuse I met a ceramic artist named Cristina who spent her days painting Moors heads in all different colors, including 18K gold. I purchased a few and carried them home to be displayed in my home, as well as yours.
The Moor’s heads are symbolic of Sicily and are recognized all over the world. They are elegant hand-painted ceramic decorative vases. Moor’s heads represent Sicilian culture and handicrafts and are among the most popular souvenirs. They portray the face of a man wearing a turban, a vision from the East, and a woman with a crown. Both are embellished with jewelry, flowers and citrus fruits. The Moor’s Heads, also known as Graste. They tell a story of passion, betrayal, jealousy and revenge. (visitsicily.com)
