This extraordinary 18K gold pendant is a stunning example of Peruvian artistry inspired by Incan heritage. Expertly crafted in richly detailed openwork, it depicts a man with a llama — a powerful symbol of prosperity, endurance, and harmony with nature in Andean culture. The reverse features a stylized Inca-inspired geometric motif, evoking ancient sun and deity imagery.
The intricate pierced design allows light to dance through the gold, highlighting its sculptural relief and deep oxidized recesses. Every surface is decorated with ornate geometric patterns, blending traditional Andean symbolism with mid-20th century Peruvian goldsmithing techniques.
