Luis Seclen celebrates llamas with this endearing set of four figurines. Used as a beast of burden since the time of the Moche people, llamas held a special place in the Inca Empire and would be buried along with important people. A multicolored llama represents the deity Urcuchillay, who ruled over animals. Seclen handcrafts each endearing figurine with blown glass techniques and adorns their heads and the patterns on the throws with silver leaf, achieving an admirable effect. The very nature of hand-blown glass artistry implies the possibility of miniscule air bubbles and/ or slight imperfections. This is part of the charm of this art form, for it ensures that no two pieces will ever be identical. .999 Fine silver leaf
