Handcrafted Archaeological Copper and Bronze Mask, "Lord of Sipan"

This mask by Ana Maria Enciso is inspired in the burial site of the Lord of Sipan, one of the most important discoveries in Peruvian archaeology. The tomb was filled with valuable articles, representing the man's high rank and semi-divine status. One of the pieces – a silver necklace featuring ten realistic human heads – is the basis for this mask. Combining sheets of copper and bronze, the artisan creates a textured vision, while galvanization techniques result in the blend of chemical tones. A work of eternal spirit for the contemporary interior. Note the intriguing appearance of scorpions on the ears.
