Glazed and glazed ceramic.
Measurements: 34,5 x 30 x 20 cm.
Bracket made of glazed and glazed ceramic that has been conceived from a sculptural perspective, with a male head that serves as the base of the upper area.Italian cities such as Faenza, Urbino and Palermo became hubs of ceramic manufacturing. While at first schematic drawings of oriental origin and chromatic reduction predominated, here the polychromy and iconography have been enriched, presenting a more elaborate aesthetic: vegetal decorations based on borders coexist with figurative representations.
