Kingdom of the sun and the moon

Hi everyone!

This is my first week of vacation. Doing outdoors activities began Thursday and it's non stop. @_@

So what did I do on Thursday? It's my first day out after my exams and I went to the museum with Melissa and his cousin. What a bliss it was! I have gorgeous pictures to share with you and I hope you will enjoy it! :D It's actually a museum about the old civilization of Peru and it's very interesting. Most of these items were made 100-800 AD. Can you believe that? On top of that, none of these are look like antique. They look like bran new. It's amazing how well these antiques were kept.

A head statue

An urn which looks like a corn

That's very creative.

An urn

You can see at the bottom at the picture the date of when it was created. Does it look old? Hell no!

 

Two more urns but you can see here that the figures here are a little more 'X' rated. lol >_>

An urn in a form of demon head I think

Another urn in a form of a bird

You can see in the bottom side of that urn how the pictures shows how the bird catches it's fish. Very cute! *_*

A silver bowl

What a shame the quality of my camera is not super. If you could look at it in person, you could see the designs on that silver bowl.

Statue of some God I think

I think this statue is made of copper but it obviously turned green overtime.

A statue

A golden knife

So this is a golden knife. Pure gold! It must be so heavy. I should've taken a picture on the side to show you how sharp it is. It was a huge knife. It would be long as my entire extended arm.

Top design of that knife

Some jewelries or art decoration

A fashion accessory for the top

A golden knife (left) and an urn (right)

A gold accessory...some spider in a head form

A wall decoration

There were very few wall decorations. This once is made of feathers.

Another wall decoration...the picture is a little failed lol. I wonder what that feather art was suppose to represent. A flag maybe?

A gold mask

Golden mouth accessories

Golden shooters....long live the king XD

Details of the previous gold shooters...I actually doubt these are shooters because of the holes on the bottom. But it is gold...it's just the lighting that makes it look otherwise.

Gold urn



 

Gold necklace on top and silver necklace on bottom

A gold head set

Another gold head set

 

Small silver and big gold lama



 

I hope you guys enjoyed it! :D ....Wait....these are just half pictures I took and of course I am going to put the rest up. The next pictures are more Spanish related art after they invaded Peru.

 

 

The angel ....Michael who dominated Satan!!??? I'm not Christian so please pardon me.



 

I had some technical problems with my camera when I took pictures of the frames. I know it's funny of me to take pictures of them but they are gorgeous. You can't find such refined frames now. All you have are the generic ones.



This silver statue was phenomenal!!!

So this is the back of that silver bird. But I wonder what was put inside there.

 

 

So this is the last picture. The last piece of art was actually found in London from antiques theft in 2004. Well I'm glad it is found. If you guys live nearby Montreal, you should definitely take a look at the museum because my pictures are not doing justice to the original arts. What do you expect from cellphone camera? A ticket is only 11$ with taxes I think. The exposition is still on at Musée des beaux arts à Montréal. You can find more information from this link: http://www.mbam.qc.ca/peru/

Melissa and her cousin are Peruvian so I know they will appreciate these pictures a lot although these aren't the best. I was really lucky that we were allowed to take pictures without flashes. My camera doesn't have flash anyways so it wasn't a problem. Anyways, I hope you guys will enjoy your weekend. I have to live to the fullest before my summer class begins. Have a great day! :D
