Copper plate, "Lambayeque"
Penetrating eyes gaze from the past in this exquisite decorative plate by Ana María Enciso. Wearing an elaborate headdress and earrings, the face represents a personage from the Lambayeque culture. Located north of Lima, the fertile Lambayeque Valley was the cradle of the Moche and Chimu civilizations. The Andean artisan crafts the plate from copper and bronze.

"Stunning decorative item"
This item joins two other similar copper plates along a hallway. Beautiful craftsmanship, with a helpful hook on back for hanging. They have become a focal point as everyone comments on them. Absolutely stunning.
