If you’ve ever visited Sicily, you know it’s impossible to escape the teste di moro: Sicilian Moor heads. Or perhaps you’ve never been to the island, but have indulged in the latest season of The White Lotus–in which these colorful ceramic heads are cast alongside the likes of Aubrey Plaza, Theo James, and Jennifer Coolidge.
These head-shaped vases are ubiquitous throughout Sicily–put on display at hotels and restaurants, perched on locals’ balconies, and watching passers-by from every shop’s window display. Teste di moro are quite distinct, identifiable by their colorful glazed faces, piercing gazes, and unique headwear, such as a bejeweled crowns or ornate headdresses.
