Delivery EstimateA cuchimilco, believed to keep bad energies at bay, proudly represents Peru's Chancay culture. He wears an ornate headdress and decorative face paint or tattoos on the cheeks and chin. Cuchimilcos are usually found in pairs featuring a man and a woman — symbolic of divine duality, a belief held by all pre-Hispanic cultures. Walter Jose Acosta crafts this figurine by hand, showing the expertly replicating the artistic stylizations of ancient Andean peoples.

I bought this as a gift for myself to always remember the birth of my daughter and the beauty of delivering with a midwife. Having this piece in my home creates an opportunity to share this history and my connection to the story it tells.

This work is of the highest quality, a detailed reproduction of Nasca form and iconography unmatched not only in its aesthetic quality but also as a tool for the close-up study of typified Nasca figural representation.

My warmest Thanks to Walter Jose Acosta for this incredible and wonderful piece of art! Through my work as a film director, I came into contact with Nazca culture and was immediately enchanted and excited. These vessels are truly empathetic and authentically designed replica that resurrect this extinct culture. Many thanks to Walter for this time travel!
