Delivery EstimateStanding with open arms, two large cuchimilcos proudly represent Peru's Chancay culture that flourished from 1200 to 1470 A.D. Their welcoming posture is believed to keep bad energies at bay. They are always found in pairs featuring a man and a woman, symbolic of divine duality, a belief held by all pre-Hispanic cultures. Walter Jose Acosta masters ceramic techniques as he crafts each statuette by hand. He expertly replicates the artistic stylizations of the Chancay culture, featuring a large head and small arms extended upwards, resembling wings. The figures are nude except for masks, headdresses and bracelets.

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.
