Mater Tonda

The artefact

The soft forms of this ceramic sculpture tell millennium-old stories, taken from the archaic pre-Nuragic culture with plastic and expressive trait, which evoke the female figure intended as a goddess symbolising fertility. Handcrafted, the Mater Tonda comes in the majolica version with red galzing and in the black bucchero version.
