Copper mask, 'Grand Lord'

Wearing elaborate earrings, the Lord of Sipan is an imposing sight. His helmet takes the shape of the tumi, or pre-Hispanic ceremonial knife. Sipan is an archeological site in northern Peru where the tomb of the Lord of Sipan was discovered in 1987. Working in copper and bronze, Ana Mar�a Enciso commemorates the ancient personage in a beautiful mask. A hook at the back facilitates hanging.
