gifts for pastors

Peering out from the pre-Hispanic past, an ancient owl is ever watchful, its talons ready for its winged nocturnal hunt. Walter Jose Acosta depicts the handsome bird in a ceremonial vessel in the style of Peru's Moche people, who crafted realistic clay portraits of people and animals. This exquisite replica of an ancient huaco, or clay vessel is meticulously crafted of burnished terracotta and painted by hand.
