Pre-Hispanic motifs cover a vase of smooth terracotta. By Gregorio Bracamonte, this original design depicts a stylized personage with his hand raised in greeting. Flowers bloom in natural colors derived from crushed stones mixed with slip. 'This vase pays tribute to the greatness and intelligence of our ancestors,' the Nicaraguan artisan confides. He creates masterful reproductions of archaeological treasures.
