Antique Puglia Terracotta Object "Bubulo"
ambiantSEK 594.00
A hollow terracotta object sourced from Puglia in southern Italy.
Locally called "Bubulo" in the singular and "Bubuli" in the plural, these are terracotta architectural elements that have been used in traditional Pugliese architecture.
They were primarily used as components for vaulted ceilings and other structures, making buildings lighter than stone or tuff while the internal air layer served as insulation.
As an object that lets you feel the atmosphere of the local architectural culture.
