2 - Black Painted Hair: The hair is styled straight and painted black— a feature often seen in pre-Inca Wari culture, which has influenced Peruvian art for centuries.

3 - Rounded Body: The rounded, substantial shape is characteristic of both Wari sculptures and Chulucanas pottery from northern Peru, giving it a warm, earthy feel.

4 - Spiritual Touch: With angelic wings and a small bowl perfect for a candle, this piece reflects Christian influences, possibly as a post-colonial creation blending indigenous and European elements.
