    Description

    Chancay Burial Dolls Shadow Box.
    This shadow box contains three Chancay burial dolls from Peru.  I believe these are recreations made by indigenous Peruvians artists.  As I understand it, they are recreated in the style of the real Chancay burial dolls and incorporate remnants of fabric recovered from pre-Columbian burial sites.
    This piece was acquired by my family in Central America in the 1970s.
    The shadow box is approximately 11 inches by 12 inches.
