This Peruvian decorative vase celebrates the majesty of ancient Andean warriors. Ana Maria Enciso crafts the vase of copper and bronze, featuring an antiqued, oxidized finish with shining accents. Gemstones of sodalite, opal, jasper, onyx, and chrysocolla decorate the front and back of the vase for a truly striking decor accessory. At the back of the sculpture are cultural symbols that draw from Chimu, Inca, and Wari iconography.

"I was born on April 17, 1952. For 24 years I have dedicated myself to metalwork in the city where I got married to an able smith, from whom I learned the art of working with silver and plaques. Today we have a small family business, in which my children are also involved, and we work together with dedication, constantly developing new products.
"What inspires me on a daily basis is the endless desire to improve personally and economically. In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people. My products have been exhibited in craft fairs in Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico, receiving a warm welcome and a grateful impression among the people who have appreciated my work."
