Product Description
NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, offers thousands of limited edition and one-of-a-kind gifts, jewelry, and home decor treasures handmade by master artists and artisans throughout the world. This decorative plate - impressive in its soothing blue tone - portrays a deity of Peru's ancient Moche culture. The figure appears as a hybrid of man and animal, its falcon beak leading swift, cyclical movements. Every precise detail represents the artistry of the Moche people, who relied on shamans to channel supernatural energy, force, power, and protection. Their deities are often inspired in a blend of the animals inhabiting the Peruvian coastal region. The artisans of the Huaman Paucar Family shape the piece by hand from clay, achieving a vivid blend of colors. Artisan Info: The Huaman Paucar Family is featured in Keepers of the Arts, a beautiful hardcover book available through Novica. Their art has also been featured in the Daily Breeze newspaper, in Southern California. "My wife and I hail from the capital of the Inca Empire, situated deep in the Peruvian Andes. We dress our jars and decorative plates in beautiful designs from ancient Peru. Each carries the powerful, elemental mystery of water and earth. "Our family's journey in the ceramic arts has been influenced by the customs and lifestyles of my village, a village of ceramic artisans. "When Ubaldina was young, she attended obligatory classes at the the Artisan School of Pisac. This knowledge of hers inspired us,"
