Handmade Moche Replica Copper Mask Depicting Cats, "Moche Cat Man"
Deified in pre-Hispanic times, a fierce jaguar crowns the headdress in a mask by Ana María Enciso. A domestic cat poses on the forehead of the stern personage. The Andean artisan crafts the mask from copper and bronze for a stunning decorative accent that represents Peru's ancient Moche culture.
