Product Details

An elegant pair of bookends Corsica on the theme of the "Isle of Beauty" (île de beauté) through the recognizable profile of the Moorish head. Several origins are attributed to this depiction of a Moor (Saracens), who for a long time raided the northern shores of the Mediterranean. Adopted by the Corsicans when they gained independence in the 18th century, it is one of the oldest flags in Europe.
