"In my work I seek to recover the folklore of the Andean people," says Peruvian artisan Ana Maria Enciso. She does so with this delicate cedar wood cross to display on the wall. Inspired by the sacred heart of Jesus, it seems wrapped in an almost celestial way that highlights the handmade cross. The cross is light and has applications of fine bronze and copper sheets.

Story Behind the art:
I was born on April 17, 1952. For 24 years I have dedicated myself to metalwork in the city where I got married to an able smith, from whom I learned the art of working with silver and plaques. Today we have a small family business, in which my children are also involved, and we work together with dedication, constantly developing new products.

What inspires me on a daily basis is the endless desire to improve personally and economically. In my work I seek to recover the folklore and joy of the Andean people. My products have been exhibited in craft fairs in Spain, Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico, receiving a warm welcome and a grateful impression among the people who have appreciated my work.

The handmade touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
