Chancay Figures - Peru?
Three ancient bronze Chancay family figures with arms outstretched.
Two male and a female,
The two male have hollow body's.
Size, they are from left to right. 50mm 45mm and 40mm tall.
Age unknown... but very old.
I have been unable to find bronze Chancay figures on the net so far so I would say these are as rare as hens teeth !
Any info most welcome.
Pre Columbian - Peru. - Cuchimilco or Star Gazer's
Info : Peru’s Chancay culture settled fifty miles north of Lima in the Chancay Valley between 900 and 1400 A.D. The Chancay people were exquisite ceramic and textile artisans. Cuchimilco ceramic figures are almost always presented in pairs to represent family. Archaeologists have often found cuchimilcos in the tombs of Chancay nobility, as their outstretched hands absorb negative energy.
The cuchimilcos almost always come in male / female pairs representing the duality of God, a belief of the pre-Columbian cultures. These figures, with their extended arms like wings are ready to fly or invite a hug, as if saying, "Welcome, we are here."
Not much is known about the Chancay civilization which developed in the later part of the Inca empire. This culture emerged after the fall of the Wari civilization. Parts of the southern Chancay area were conquered by the Chimú in the early fifteenth century and in about 1450 A.D. the Incas were occupying both areas.[1] It is believed that the Chancay had a centralized political structure, forming a small regional state.[3] Thus the Chancay culture declined in the fifteenth century to make way for the territorial expansion of the Inca Empire.
Occupying the central coast coastal region of Peru, the Chancay were centered mostly in the Chancay and Chillón valleys, although they also occupied other areas such as the Rimac and Lurin valley areas.[2] The center of the Chancay culture was located 80 kilometers north of Lima. It is a desert region but has fertile valleys bathed by rivers and is rich in resources that allowed for, among other things, extensive agricultural development.
The Chancay developed intense trade relations with other regions, allowing them to interract with other cultures and settlements in a wide area.
Background - Raw Rose Quartz.... it has the ability to balance all of the body's systems.

"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is a song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney that was recorded by The Beatles for their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I tossed in the word Black since this confection of mine does contain Black Diamonds :)
According to the Beatles, one day in 1966 Lennon's son, Julian, came home from nursery school with a drawing he said was of his classmate, a girl named Lucy. Showing the artwork to his father, young Julian described the picture as "Lucy — in the sky with diamonds." And it sparked off the idea for a song. How sweet!

I have just today 10th Dec 2013 learned how to create a link that opens in a new tab so click on the Nora Jones link and listen while viewing the image. The original Flickr page will be still open in an adjacent tab so you do need to open that again.
