During the Dance of the Conquest, this character could be a general, a soldier or even a lieutenant. The white skin of the European characters is always exaggerated; notice the beautiful colonial style carvings with golden painted hair, sideburns, eyebrows, tiny eyelashes and moustaches. Sunburned ears, nose and cheeks; red lips and gorgeous blue and brown glass eyes give this Conquistador a unique look. The exquisite ability of the artist is demonstrated with excellent mouth and hair carvings; specially the high relief sideburns and moustaches. The piece has a superb look with many different layers of paint as skin indicates. The use that the piece had is shown in the incredible backside patina that tells the many adventures and events that this piece has overcome.
