The Snob

Pantaleo Musarò is an Italian ceramist who is interested in psychology and human behaviour and character traits. He created the ceramic figurine The Snob as part of a series of ceramic sculptures that reflect different sides of human nature. The series show us how humans try to hide their vulnerability by behaving in a certain way.

The Snob represents someone with an attitude of superiority, who frowns upon others. A plexiglass case puts emphasis on the his contempt towards the outside world. The figurine is hand sculpted in Italy, the nose is covered In 24 carat venetian gold leaf.
