Copper plate, ‘Inca Messenger’ – Copper and Bronze Plate Handmade Art from Peru

NOVICA, in association with National Geographic, searches the world to work directly with the finest artisan designers. Chasquis were Inca messengers, trained from a very early age to run long distances and traverse the seemingly impossible terrain of the Peruvian Andes. Ana Maria Enciso portrays the messenger on a copper plate surrounded by masks. Bronze details emphasize the cool copper contours of an extraordinary design.

Ana Maria Enciso says,
"In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people."
