Inspired by the artistic traditions of the Moche people, Walter Jose Acosta crafts a handsome huaco sculpture of a warrior. Huacos were crafted to make a portrait of somebody famous, like this warrior with an eagle headdress to symbolize his reverence for nature. Eagles, amongst other Andean birds, represented power. The ceramic sculpture is crafted by hand and treated to a specialized finish to create an antique illusion.
