| Most Peruvian crafts are made in the highlands, like Cusco, and primarily by Campesinos (modern Peruvian Indians). Over the past 20 years, these traditional creations have enjoyed recognition and a surge in popularity that has greatly increased
the self-esteem of their producers.
The hand-carvings made by Campesinos often depict life in Peru.The ones displayed here are representations of themselves, their Gods, and their livelihood. The one appearing first is an icon andis called a "Tumi". Also depicted are hand carved Incas and the llama-like alpacas famous for their warm fur which the natives make into a variety of goods such as the rugs and clothing found in the rest of these pages.
