About the Item
It’s a bust-style sculpture, capturing the head of a woman with soft, classical features. The face has serene, somewhat idealized features, with a closed or neutral mouth and heavy-lidded eyes, giving it a contemplative or timeless expression. Flowing curls frame the face, styled in a way reminiscent of classical Greco-Roman statuary, which heavily influenced Sicilian art due to the island’s ancient Greek and Roman heritage. The earthy tones and rough texture reflect the natural clay used in traditional Southern Italian pottery. The sculpture has a slightly weathered patina
In Sicily terracotta figures are often inspired by mythology, religious iconography, or local legends. They were typically made for decorative purposes in homes or small chapels, reflecting the island’s deep artistic traditions. It's in original condition
