| A wonderful Moche copper Maskette from Peru, ca. 400 – 700 AD. This ominous looking piece is 3-1/2” wide, 2-1/2” high and portrays the visage of Ai Apaec. He has a human trophy head affixed to his forehead and danglers along the ears. The teeth are inlays made from Spondylus and clearly show the large fangs characteristic of the deity. The fine patina adds to the gruesome appearance of this rare and unusual piece. | ||
