Giant Ceramic Vase Woman Moor Head
€2,500.00Magnificent traditional ceramic vase in the shape of a Moorish woman's head in green or malachite color - Italy. An extreme delicacy.

The Moors were members of the Muslim people of North Africa, of mixed Arab and Berber origin. In the 8th century, they converted to Islam and established power in North Africa, Sicily and Spain, where they established a civilization (756-1492).
THE LEGEND :
During the Arab rule in Sicily, in the city of Palermo there was an Arab suburb called "La Kalsa".
In this small suburb there lived a beautiful young woman who spent her time taking care of the flowers on her balcony.
One day, a young Moor was walking under the lady's balcony. He noticed the beauty of the young lady and he fell in love with her.
He did not wait a minute to declare his love and the beautiful young girl, impressed by the lover's audacity, quickly felt the same love.
Unfortunately, the young Moor was already married and was the father of several children... as soon as the young woman discovered that he might leave to find his family one day, she waited until nightfall and killed him while he was sound asleep. She cut off his head and used it as a vase for her plants so that she could have him by her side forever.
As the beauty of this vase was remarkable, the whole neighborhood wanted to own one like it.
From this moment, the creation of vases in the shape of Moorish heads began...
