Moche Warrior: a symbol of protection, valour and individual strength

~~£29.95~~ £20.00

This tiny silver sculpture depicting the noble Moche warrior with his helmet, back flap, and mace has been hand cast in solid 925 silver by artisans in Peru. The detailed piece is designed to slot neatly onto our hand made leather straps with solid sterling silver buckle. See ‘Additional Information’ below for dimensions.

STORY: The Moche warriors were frequently depicted in Moche art and regarded as one of the most important and noble figures in Moche society. The combat illustrated in artistic narratives appears to be ceremonial rather than militaristic. The stories shown were about the expression of individual valour, in which the warriors engaged in one-on-one combat usually fighting in inter-valley rivalries in disputes over agricultural land. They wore head- dresses, a protective back flap, and carried clubs which were employed during warfare and ceremonies.

Moon Mother: a symbol of the multiple life tasks of a mother and the steadfast constant love for all in her watch

~~£29.95~~ £20.00

This adorable bead has been hand cast in solid 925 sterling silver by artisans in Peru. The little silver sculpture is designed to slot neatly onto our hand made leather straps with sterling solid silver buckle. See ‘Additional Information’ below for dimensions. STORY: This 'Moon Mother' design is taken from a sculptured ceramic figure of a Moche mother, shown with an enchanting smile and the scalloped headdress, typical of the attire of Moche women and priestesses. Study of the murals and ceramic art shows that women played a prominent role in Moche culture, both in religion and ceremony. Most recent discoveries of Moche archeology show that women indeed were not just the daughter, mother, or wife of the noble warriors but also had high status and many roles in Moche society. In fact it was female Si, the moon goddess, who was considered to be the supreme deity in Moche culture, visible both night and day, more powerful than the sun, controlling the seasons and the storms, looking over her people, their harvests, their battles and their daily life.

This classical bead has been hand cast in solid 925 sterling silver by artisans in Peru. It is designed to thread either individually onto our silver chains, leather necklets, silver hoop earrings or braided and plain leather bracelets. See ‘Additional Information’ below for dimensions. STORY: This classical silver 'Heart at One' silver bead is based on a stone Moche mace head. The clubs were often decorated with iconography related to the gods whom they worshipped. The heart shaped decoration takes the outline of the beautiful facial disc of the owl one of the most important Moche gods, and thought by some scholars to have a similar meaning to the third eye symbolising intuition, higher consciousness, and expanded capacity for self-healing and spiritual insight. Moche religion also seems to have centred on ideas of dualistic opposition: gold/silver, day/night, land/sea. The symmetry of the owls face maybe also symbolises a union of both sides, balance, two sides as one, as in the shape of a heart.

Star: a symbol of the cosmos and success

This beautiful bead has been hand cast in solid 925 sterling silver by artisans in Peru. It is designed to thread either onto our range of silver chains or silver hoop earrings. See 'Additional Information' below for dimensions.

STORY: This beautiful four pointed star shaped silver bead is based on a stone Moche mace head. The clubs were often formed in shapes related to nature, the cosmos and the gods whom they worshipped. Contact between the celestial world of stars and the earth was considered essential to achieve successful harvests, hence the importance of the star motif. The subjects in Moche art such as the warriors, priests and owls, were often depicted as whole scenes showing night skies full of stars across which crescent boats carried figures such as Si, the moon God.

NB: The price above is for the solid silver bead only. Please see the jewellery collection for more information.
