Copper and Bronze Decorative Cup With Incan Theme, "Andean Ancestors"
Ana Maria Enciso's career as a metal worker began when she married an able one. Together the couple have worked to expand their line of products, often inspired by Peru's ancient past. This past is seen on this decorative fluted cup/vase which is made of copper and bronze, some of it oxidized. The gaps in the figures at the base are filled in with ground sodalite.

"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.
