Archaeological Brass and Copper Vase, "Chimu Deity"
Ana Maria Enciso depicts an enigmatic figure on a handsome copper vase. Silver eyes gaze impassively from the past, seemingly lost in their own time. Gleaming brass details define the ancient Chimu deity. On the reverse side of the vase, a messenger bears good tidings.

"This is so loved and next to the picture of Our Father Above"





I loved it. The second I pulled it out of the box and wrapping I took it to all my neighbors, who adored it too, as well as my ex husband who liked it. I am truly the proud owner of such beauty and care that went into the making of this more than gorgeous Chrysocolla Cross.. Thank you, Mr Franco. Your work is fabulous Kim

"Magnificent craftmanship"





Just love all metal detailing to surface face and hinged jaw whiskers that is like a loose fitting bracelet or beard on the sculpture. Love the characterization of cat -- colors and turquoise contrasts.
