An eclipse of ominous beauty, this mask is enlivened by the expressive features of the sun and moon. The Inca regarded themselves as children of the sun, for he protected and offered guidance. The moon, on the other hand, indicated the right time to prepare the land, sow the seeds and harvest the fruits of the earth. Ana Maria Enciso crafts the piece of copper and bronze and treats the faces to a galvanized bath, achieving the distinct green finish.
