The wondrous and colorful art of Cajamarca finds reflection in this mirror, hand-painted with elaborate detail by Asunta Pelaez. The mirror is surrounded by painted glass panels radiating with golden light akin to the brightest star in the Peruvian firmament.
About the Artist: Asunta Pelaez tells her story: 'At first my I husband's family taught me, then we united our skills and labor. I realized that the more I practiced, the more this craft won me over, offering me tremendous gratification. Now I consider it a way of life. This whole process demands incredible patience and attention to detail. My designs are inspired by nature, and by traditional scenes from my town and region. I feel very proud of the works that I create.'
