Product Features

Working with Fair Trade certified organizations is an important part of what we do. This product is made by artisans that are fairly compensated for their skilled work, and helps provide a living wage as well as safe work conditions.


The contemplative, reverent gaze of this copper and bronze decorative mask statuette is fitting with its inspiration, the masks used in funeral ceremonies of Lamyayeque pre-Columbian cultures in the north of Peru during the 8th and 15th centuries. The squared-off shape and accessories denote royalty. Both sides feature the intricate face, each with different embellishments for the mouth. Designed by Ana Maria Enciso of Peru, the statuette is made of oxidized copper with bronze and polished copper accents and stands on a brass rod on a jasper base.

  • materials: Copper and bronze on jasper base; polyester fabric, brass support rods
  • Hand-crafted item -- color, size and/or motif may vary slightly

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."

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.

Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.

Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.

The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
