"Nice but could be better."





This is a nice piece but is just half of the size that I had imagined as it says it was a large piece. There were crack lines along both sides of the sculpture which I hope is just a natural occurrence of the stone and is not because it had been dropped and the piece would not break apart because of it. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star.

"I learned to carve stone from a friend. In turn, I have taught my son and many of my workers the art of stone carving. When one of my artisans leaves to start a workshop of their own, I feel great pride. It means that the stone art of Peru will live on. Stone carving records the history of Peru and the Andes. Even though we now use machinery to bring our hand drawings to life... the stories the stones tell and the motifs we incorporate have been with us since pre-Inca times."
