gifts for elderly parents

This mask captures the fearless spirit of a Moche warrior who assesses the battlefield with knowing eyes. The sun god appears on his earrings and ocean waves wash across his headdress. The work represents the face of courage. Ronald Franco crafts the mask in copper and bronze. A hook at the back facilitates hanging.

Ai Aepec, the supreme god of the Moche people, sheds two solitary tears; his face is stern and fearsome. The gesture expresses Ai Aepec's divine sensibility. Ronald Franco invokes the presence of the powerful deity as she creates this extraordinary mask. She crafts the mask of copper and bronze and treats the face to a galvanized bath to achieve the distinct green finish.
