Description
For centuries, the Ilama has been the favored beast of burden in the Andes region of Peru. This beautiful vessel pays tribute to the important place of the Ilama in ancient society. Though the Ilama is rumored to be rather a haughty and aloof animal because of his slight sneer, this particular beast has a delightful and charming smile that invites us to know him better. - (PF.1120)
