Exceptional craftsman at work
A most famous Moche stirrup vessel at the Larco Herrera museum in Lima is now available to anyone since Walter Acosta applied his talents in making a replica. Correct clay and thickness, exact detail of artwork and paint used. Special " aging " process is unheard of. I have seen many replicas since 1975 but this appears ancient original. Professional packing & Shipping. Thanks to Senor Acosta and NOVICA. Michael Garland, Lake Stevens, Washington USA
Unbelievably Authentic
An amazing item! The quality of workmanship is obvious from the moment you hold it. You can literally see the love and dedication put into creating it. Other than not having any dirt on it, this reproduction looks just like an authentic artifact. I could not be happier with it my purchase. It's a wonderful addition to my collection.
Big, bold, eye-catching piece!
Larger than imagined, this sassy decorative vase boasts a wonderful green patina, contrasted by highlights of shiny polished copper and bronze and embellished with semi-precious stones. The whole thing is finished with a protective glaze which gives it a gorgeous shine (you can hardly see it in the photos).
