Description by the artist

Here is my Picciuttedda sicula (Sicilian for Young Sicilian lady). In this work I wanted to represent a female Moors head different from the traditional one, a doll with a turban full of very colorful fruit that recalls one of the symbols of the Sicilian artistic tradition.

Handcrafted in Sicily

The artwork in the Sicilian culture

By the Governance of Sicilian Artisan Foundation

A concentration of Sicily in this work, given by the sea, the sky and the typical plants and fruits. But it is the color in general of the entire work of art that immediately recalls the largest island in the Mediterranean.
