Decorative ceramic vessel, 'Mochica Head'

Love my 'Laughing Moche Head'

Señor Acosta, your ceramic work is outstanding. A year or so ago, I bought your Bird hunting Fish ceramic, and told you I love it, but never found the place to review it. Now I have added your Lauging Moche Head, a replica of a Moche ceramic I've seen photos of in the Metropolitan Museum, and your replica is absolutely perfect. Every one of the visitors to my home gets to see your wonderful work, and hear some things about the Moche. Thank you so much . Marsha

Monkeyshines replica

I enjoy this piece immensely. It holds my art pencils and graces my studio desk and is a wonderful conversation starter but mostly it is just amazing all on its own.
