Andean Peacocks Set of 4 Dried Gourd Peacock Ornaments from Peru

Canto Sisters

(3)

Stylized peacocks and pretty flowers pose on festive ornaments — one each in green, red, yellow and orange. Working in an ancient art they learned from their father, the Canto Sisters craft the set from dried gourds harvested from the yerba mate plant. They are cleaned, dried and painted before the images are meticulously engraved around the surface by hand.

Cultivated on the Peruvian coast for 6,000 years, mate gourds were decorated with images of birds and fish by the pre-Inca Moche and Chimu peoples. But it was the Inca who went on to use the gourds as cups and bowls, in ceremonial objects and in musical instruments.

Because each unique piece is handcrafted from a natural gourd, please expect slight variations in shape, size and motifs.

Moche Cutthroat Archaeological Ceramic Sculpture

Walter Jose Acosta

(88)

Holding a head in one hand and a sacrificial knife in the other, this sculpture of a Moche cutthroat replicates this culture's amazing artistry. The cutthroat was an important character who not only sacrificed prisoners, he also "delivered" a person to the gods when in need of rain or other favors. The Moche people lived in northern Peru around 100-800 A.D., and they were renowned for their ceramic excellence, which usually represented divine creators, humans, animals, and other significant scenes. Ceramic sculptures were usually placed as sacred offerings in the tombs of important Moche people. Inspired by this important legacy, Walter Jose Acosta crafts this ceramic replica by hand, faithfully replicating Moche stylizations.
