    Copper mask, 'Lord of Sipan'

    This mask by Ana Maria Enciso is inspired in the burial site of the Lord of Sipan, one of the most important discoveries in Peruvian archaeology. The tomb was filled with valuable articles, representing the man's high rank and semi-divine status. One of the pieces – a silver necklace featuring ten realistic human heads – is the basis for this mask. Combining sheets of copper and bronze, the artisan creates a textured vision, while galvanization techniques result in the blend of chemical tones. A work of eternal spirit for the contemporary interior. Note the intriguing appearance of scorpions on the ears.

    "I was born on April 17, 1952. For 24 years I have dedicated myself to metalwork in the city where I got married to an able smith, from whom I learned the art of working with silver and plaques. Today we have a small family business, in which my children are also involved, and we work together with dedication, constantly developing new products.

    "What inspires me on a daily basis is the endless desire to improve personally and economically. In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people. My products have been exhibited in craft fairs in Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico, receiving a warm welcome and a grateful impression among the people who have appreciated my work."
