Hand-Painted Ceramic Decorative Sculpture

Shaped from red earth and echoing the form of ancient idols, the Itri Totem is a modern homage to Amazigh spirituality and cosmic balance.

Its unique silhouette — with two circular cutouts and strong arched legs — represents the sky and the earth, the moon and the sun, the seen and the unseen. Painted by hand with checkerboard grounding patterns and vibrant Amazigh motifs, it channels both energy and stillness.

This is not just art — it’s a symbol of alignment and sacred structure.

Explore the Beauty of Hand-Painted Ceramic Decorative Sculptures

Every Itri Totem is sculpted and painted by hand in the workshops near Marrakech, using local clay and oxide-based pigments. The checkerboard base is a grounding symbol, while the double openings evoke ancient ritual objects meant to guide the soul.

Each piece is entirely unique — no molds, no repetitions.
