Details

Tiny llamas graze amid ancient temples while ocean waves tell stories of Peru's Pacific coast. The Huaman Paucar Family takes their inspiration from Tambomachay for this beautiful replica. The ancient site was dedicated to the cult of water and the Inca Emperor visited the zone for rest and relaxation. Masterfully reproduced on an aged Cuzco vase, the ancient symbols proclaim Peru's rich heritage.

Because each vase is crafted individually by hand, there may be slight variations in colour and form.
