A fig crowns the head of a graceful, watchful woman, and the fruit is modeled with the same attention as the face, hand sculpted in Italy from terra cotta, the red clay that shows depth, saturation and richness of color better than any other. The Sicilian Heads Fig Head is a showpiece for a home or a garden, and the tradition behind it spans centuries, celebrating the elegance, strength and resilience of women through expressive sculpture. Because every head is modeled by hand, the fig sits a little differently on each. Keep it decorative, set it where light moves across it, and let it carry an entry, a covered porch or a shelf of Italian ceramics.
