Handmade Cuzco Style Decorative Ceramic Vase, "Sacred Inca Valley"
The unique iconography of the Inca tells of when to sow, when to harvest and when to shear the alpaca and llama. Known as tocapu, this pictorial alphabet comes from the Sacred Valley of the Inca Empire, which goes from Pisaq and Ollantaytambo, parallel to Vilcanota or Wilcamayu River, in Cuzco. Rolando and Luis paint this inspired ceramic vase by hand.

This is a beautiful vase in the Cuzco style. The detailing in the painting is excellent, and the colors are warm and rich. Great size and this is quite a statement piece.

"Museum quality on a house-wine budget"





Colors are rich and harmonious. Design is intricate, without being too busy (not easy to pull off). Web photo is 100% accurate. If you like the web photo as much as I did, grab this today while its still available; its a fine work of art and a tribute to their Peruvian heritage. Vase arrived in perfect condition; heavy foam padding all around; shipping from Peru to NY State took under 10 business days.
