Amazing Craftsmanship”

The Moche Soldier statue is expertly crafted. The design is both beautiful and spectacular. It truly looks like an artifact made from the Moche people themselves. The colors, design, the sculpting are impeccable. This is a wonderful purchase and a great addition to any collection.

Beautiful conversation piece”

I bought this as a gift for myself to always remember the birth of my daughter and the beauty of delivering with a midwife. Having this piece in my home creates an opportunity to share this history and my connection to the story it tells.

Stunning replica”

This work is of the highest quality, a detailed reproduction of Nasca form and iconography unmatched not only in its aesthetic quality but also as a tool for the close-up study of typified Nasca figural representation.
