Fuego de los dioses. Los metales precolombinos del Noroeste argentino

This carefully selected and impressive edition offers a complete analysis of the techniques and the cultural, social, and historical environment in which metallurgy developed in the Pre-Columbian Argentine Northwest. An important central text is accompanied by the reproduction of several gold, silver, and brass pieces that form part of private and public collections – most of them unknown to this day – that include the plaques and pectorals of the Aguada culture made in lost-wax casting.
