Images from the Inca Empire inspire Ronald Franco to provide a glimpse pre-Hispanic life. Inspired by the sharp arc of the tumi, a pre-Hispanic blade, the artisan incorporates it into a mask. She depicts a noble personage from the ancient Chavin culture in copper with bright bronze details and applications of chrysocolla, marble and sodalite gemstones.

Ronald Franco again captures the Moche spirit with this mask. The sodalite and crysocolla stones add to the beauty.

I like this cross! It is so pretty and it matches the one I bought a few years ago that has cut up turquoise for the stones. I feel it is very well made and very good workmanship.
