Known as Inti Raymi, the Incan sun god is depicted at the center of this necklace. Peruvian artisan Dina designs the pendant, handcrafted of ceramic and painted. A beaded strand of ceramic with sterling silver hosts the pendant. The necklace closes with a silver clasp.

Inspired by Inti, the ancient Inca sun god, this extraordinary wall mirror will steal the spotlight anywhere you display it. Its intricate wooden frame is embellished with bronze leaf and expertly finished with lacquer, offering a glossy sheen and lasting protection. Peruvian artisan Marcos Luzalde’s stunning creation effortlessly marries antique Colonial-style finishes with elements inspired by the Andean worldview.

Working with precise geometry, Zosimo Laura presents the three parts of the world in pre-Hispanic thought. Deep rich colors invoke Inti, sun god. A superb example of Andean textile art, this cushion cover closes with capirona wood buttons.

The Inca god Wiracocha stands proud in the firmament to crown a handsome jewelry chest. The original divinity of the people of Tiahuanaco, this god emerged from the waters of Lake Titicaca. He created the heavens, the earth, and the first generation of giants who inhabited the land in total darkness. Wiracocha is honored in the Inti Raymi, meaning "Festival of the Sun," in Cuzco, symbolizing the eternal consecration between the sun and his children — human beings.

Julio Sanchez crafts the box by hand to imitate a chest with six drawers and an upper compartment with a mirror. It closes with a lock and key. Each side features images of the tumi, a ceremonial blade used in ancient Peru for spiritual sacrifices, crowned with the effigy of a warrior.

This wondrous creation is an homage to the ancestral Inca gods. Drawing inspiration from the sacred image of the Inti, the Sun god, Marcos Luzalde handcrafts a wall mirror from wood and glass. After a long process, he adds the final touch: metallic tones and bronze leaf accents, both allowing a luminous design.

Similar to the charango but larger, the ronroco with its distinctive shape and sound is a traditional Andean instrument. This handsome ronroco combines pinewood, jacaranda wood and congona wood. The ten-string Andean instrument is a South American version of the European mandolin, originally crafted from the shell of an armadillo. Benito Tito creates this piece with a relief of Inti, the Inca sun god sculpted on the back. Equipped with nylon strings, this handmade instrument includes a carrying case of Huancayo-style cloth.

This splendid chest by Abel Rios features hand-elabourated designs inspired by figures from pre-Hispanic Peruvian culture. The sun god and the moon goddess appear on all sides in exquisitely tooled leather that covers a base of cedar. Inside, a shallow lift-out tray has two compartments and, beneath, there is plenty of space for your personal treasures. Antique-style handles, lock and key add a touch of elegance.
