dramatic decor

From Khalid Ali, this dramatic design combines embossed blossoms in three elemental colors. The unique mini chest of drawers features six different niches to organize jewelry or personal treasures. Handcrafted of dark brown wood, the decorative box showcases the art of repoussé in yellow, blue and green.

Dramatic cumulus clouds roll across the ruins of Sacsayhuaman, a site of unforgettable importance for the Inca culture of Peru. Their shaggy forms presented on green pasture, a caravan, or tropilla, of llamas heads towards an undefined destination. Handcrafted by Francisco Huaynate, the tapestry exalts the beauty of the woven arts. Says the artisan, "Our textile art has always stood out because of the purity and joy of its colours. We maintain the tradition of the weaver from San Pedro, validating history and glorifying our textile art."

Brave Saint Michael Archangel slays Satan as a dragon in this wall relief panel by the Montalvo Family in Peru. They carve this dramatic scene by hand, transforming cedar wood's rich grain into a vivid vignette of the Christian faith featuring bronze leaf applications.

Michael's name means "Who is like to God?" which was the war cry of the good angels in the battle against Satan and his followers. He is the Church's patron and protector, as well as of paratroopers, police, grocers, mariners, and the sick.

This signed relief panel is fitted with a hook on the back for hanging.
