“Perfect for a narrow wall”

This cross is a beautiful addition to our front hallway. It is narrow enough to fit on the pillar wall as needed, but pretty enough to still catch your attention. Very nicely crafted.

"Metal work has been part of Peruvian culture since before the Incas. It is an inheritance that my father taught me and I have taught my children. In our workshop, we make many replicas of Inca and traditional Peruvian art. We use brass, copper and silver like our ancestors did. This keeps our culture alive."
