Unique Archaeological Copper Bronze Vase (Set of 3), "Inca Inheritance"
(85)
By Angel Franco, this set of handsome aryballos vases celebrates the legacy of the ancient Inca. The larger vase depicts a tumi ceremonial knife with its curved blade and a god effigy. The middle vase depicts the Sun God Wiracocha, carved on the Door of the Sun, at the Tiahuanaco archaeological site. The third vase is adorned with a dancing Andean couple. Franco honors Peru's cultural legacy through his admirable artistry with galvanized copper and bronze.

"One of three of Francos mirrors that will grace our walls"
We love these Tiwanaku mirrors by Angel Franco. One hangs in our living room, this one is in a bathroom, and a third will soon hang in an office. They have a calming, even mystical quality to them. All good vibes. We live in the not-so-sunny PNW, so they help reflect more light around our space. Yay!

Preserving Traditions
"Metal work has been part of Peruvian culture since before the Incas. It is an inheritance that my father taught me and I have taught my children. In our workshop, we make many replicas of Inca and traditional Peruvian art. We use brass, copper and silver like our ancestors did. This keeps our culture alive."
Profound Impact
Angel still supports most of his family. He provides for his own wife and the wife of his eldest son. He pays for the education of his children. His Novica sales enable him to do so, providing a steady source of income for the family.
Microcredit Financing
Angel Franco has received 5 microcredit loans with 0% interest from Kiva and Novica, the first for $600 and the most recent for $2000. Proceeds were used to invest in a bulk purchase of bronze and copper for his metalwork.
Enabling Education
Angel has four children. His eldest son is unable to pay for the education of his two daughters. Angel provides for his granddaughters' education.
