PLACE REPRESENTED:   Peru

ITEM: Wall Ornament

NOTES: A simple but striking wall ornament from Peru in Inca gold. Well, in Peruvian gold, namely copper. And it is understandable why the souvenir is in copper given Peru is one of the largest copper producers in the world.

The symbols, the Inca person, the mountains, the llama all say “Peru”. The “Peru” at the bottom is almost superfluous. The punched and painted metal are streetcraft with style
