A Keepsake
I was privileged to see and hear Howler Monkeys while traveling through Central America in the 90?s. So when I came across this wonderful sculpture, I wanted to add it to my small set of momentos. It is well crafted and I especially like the howling mouth! It was packed well for its long journey from Peru to Alaska. I highly recommend this highly skilled artisan!
Beautiful Museum-Quality Art
The Chimu Dog is my third piece of Mr. Acosta's work. We have the owl cat and another piece (square Cupisnique cat?). The detail is very fine and particularly love the earthy finish. Never been to Peru but have been reading up on these older cultures through the influence of seeing your work. We were glad to find your loan on Kiva to be able to support your workshop. Phenomenal!
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.
