    Mater Ritta

    The artefact

    The stylised 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 glazing and in the black bucchero version.
