Moor’s Heads by Best Sicily are a pair of iconic Caltagirone ceramic sculptures – one female, one male – that capture the vibrant soul of Sicilian artistic tradition in its most celebrated and recognisable form. Hand-shaped and hand-painted by skilled Caltagirone artisans, each piece tells the ancient legend of the Moor and the Maiden through richly coloured decorations, intricate ornamental motifs inspired by nature -fruits, leaves, and elaborate patterns. More than decorative objects, they are genuine works of art that bring the passion, identity, and timeless elegance of Sicily into any space. Each pair is unique, as no two hand-painted pieces are ever identical.

Traditional use as legend tells: according to the ancient Sicilian legend, the Maiden transformed the Moor’s head into a planter, filling it with basil whose extraordinary lushness became the envy of all who passed by. Following this tradition, Moor’s Heads are traditionally used as planters, filled with cascading basil, geraniums, or seasonal flowers and placed at windows, balconies, and entrances as a symbol of love, passion, and Mediterranean vitality. A living piece of Sicilian folklore that blooms with every season.
