Historically, the Moche of ancient Peru depicted all aspects of life in their highly developed ceramic art. Replicating museum treasures, Walter Jose Acosta depicts a scene from the women's domain. A pregnant woman sits on another's lap as her child is born. The midwife kneels at her feet, gently receiving the tiny child. Acosta's work is expressive, almost reverent, as he exalts his country's rich history.
