This powerful pair of figures carved in sodalite stone represents Pachamama and Pachapapa, central deities in the pre-Columbian Andean worldview. Handcrafted, these sculptures evoke the mystical energy of the Andean world and its deep connection with fertility, the earth, the sky, and the sacred cycle of life.

Both figures, with robust build and intense expressions, are shown completely nude, symbolizing ancestral purity and a direct connection with nature. The male figure, Pachapapa, carries on his head an imposing sculpture of a condor, a sacred bird that represents the spiritual connection between heaven and earth, while Pachamama is shown with prominent breasts and a swollen belly, evoking her role as a nurturing mother and protector of life.

The inlays of Spondylus shells and turquoise stones, materials traditionally associated with wealth, fertility, and the spiritual world, are particularly striking. These inlays are distributed around the eyes, chest, and wrists, providing a vibrant chromatic contrast to the bluish hue of the sodalite, which in turn is aged with an orange earth patina, evoking its ritual use in agricultural or fertility ceremonies.

The figures are sculpted with finely hand-carved geometric lines and feature some visible cracks that do not detract from their value, but rather add authenticity and character to these highly symbolic pieces. Their style pays homage to the Inca aesthetic and the spiritual legacy that still endures in the Andes.

Ideal for both collectors of pre-Columbian art and those seeking decorative pieces steeped in history, mysticism, and ancestral energy. A true spiritual and cultural gem carved in stone.
