The Messengers of the Sun.
Hand-Carved Multi-Mineral Macaw Figurine.

In the Andean cosmovision, the Macaw is a bridge between the terrestrial and the divine. This museum-grade sculpture, born from the workshops of the Ayacucho School, depicts a bonded pair in a display of Yanantin—the sacred balance of complementary forces. Carved from the earth’s rarest minerals, it is a permanent tribute to the vitality of the Amazonian forest.

The Stories the Stones Tell

Green Serpentine: Known as "Machu Picchu stone," the mottled green mineral used for the foreground macaw represents the lush vitality of the forest.
Black Onyx & Chrysocolla: The beaks are honed from lustrous black onyx—the stone of protection—while the vibrant turquoise crown of the primary bird is carved from Chrysocolla.
Crystalline Aragonite: The ochre plumage and white tail feathers utilize the fibrous translucency of aragonite to simulate the organic variability of avian flight.

Technical Details

  • Dimensions: 3 inches x 3 inches.
  • Hand-Carved: Expertly carved "in the round" from raw mineral blocks.
  • Metallurgy: Sculpted copper feet anchor the birds to the base.
  • Stability: Mounted on a monolithic dark serpentine foundation.

Artisan Care

To maintain the natural vitreous luster of the minerals, wipe gently with a dry silk or microfiber cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or prolonged exposure to direct, high-intensity UV light to preserve the saturation of the turquoise elements.
